>The training must be severe. Back in march of 2010 we took a room in a hotel where we couldn't smoke. Just couldn't find anything else at the time. In the morning, we went out, at the corner of the building, where a group of tourists was gathering. We stood a few meters apart from them, but they collectively chose to move some 20m away from us... straight into their bus's exhaust. It was just idling, and mind you, american diesel is not as clean as european. They didn't mind breathing that, just as long as they are far enough from the deadly cigarette smoke particles.

I stopped in my early forties.
I missed smoking for a long time but eventually lost my tolerance for it and now I can't stand the smell.
I can smell it on a golf course if someone fifty yards away is smoking.

Actually, I should be grateful every time someone lights one up. The taxes they are paying for that butt are enormous and help reduce mine.
