My husband had TB when he was in high school and spent a year at a
hospital getting rid of it, so he was super glad when smoking was
banned in offices, restaurants and on airplanes. The worst flight of
my life was me sitting in the last row of non-smoking with two men
chain smoking cigars right behind me - SF to Chicago. I was literally
green when I disembarked.... and so nauseous, I felt like I had a bad
case of the flu.
