The world today is divided into smokers and non-smokers. It is true that the smokers cause some nuisance to the non-smokers, but this nuisance is physical while the nuisance that the non-smokers cause the smokers is spiritual. There are of course, a lot of non-smokers who don't try to interface with the smokers and wives can be trained even to tolerate their husbands smoking in bed. That is the surest sign of a happy and successful marriage. It is sometimes assumed, however, that the non-smokers are morally superior; but have missed one of their greatest pleasures of mankind. I am always scared and ill at ease when I enter a house in which there are no ash-trays. The room is apt to be to to be too clean and orderly, the cushions are apt to be in their right place and the people are apt to be correct and understood; immediately, I opt on the best behaviour which means the same thing as the most think behaviours.
