Refuge for a Smoker?

I certainly could relate to your essay on airport smoking. Living here in the upper left hand corner of the map (Oregon), just about everywhere is a whole day's flying away. So, after 6 or 8 hours on a plane, O'Hare is just so very accommodating. They have restrooms every 2 gates, but NOWHERE to smoke, except out in the sub-zero gale (especially lovely when returning from a Caribbean cruise). Twenty-five percent of the population stills smokes, and believe me, if that number of people did ANYTHING else, it would be a federal law that we be accommodated. My solution: nicotine gum. A little bit of that, and I can actually refrain from strangling the screaming little seat kickers who always sit behind me. Thanks for letting me get that off my (hack, hack) chest. Love your show.
