In the late '70s and early 80's, I was a supervisor/spare driver for a dairy. All but one of the drivers smoked. The office assistant smoked, My boss had just quit. My wife used to be able to tell which driver I had been with that day by the way my clothes smelled when I came in the door. We did daily laundry.
Oh, the driver who didn't smoke? He had TB at a younger age. He is in his eighties now. At least three of the others, half the group, are in the ground.
When we re-painted the office, we washed the walls and ceilings with TSP to etch the old paint. The water came out coffee coloured with every section of wall. (In Random Pictures thread, there was an image of a ceiling behind glass walls. The ceiling of that room was light brown. That is a smokers' room.)
I am SO glad smoking has been banned from workplaces.
