Likewise consummers of garlic and onions. I note that (a)
people who eat a lot of garlic and onions have a distinctive,
unpleasent odor and (b) many vegetarians are really into
garlic and onions. The range of acceptable behavior keeps
getting narrower all the time.

Luckily I quit smoking while it was still acceptable to
smoke in one's own office -- three of us smokers shared
a cluster of three offices and a public area, probably
consuming a carton a week each just during business hours
-- so I never had to deal with the smoker's lounge thing.
