I used to have a smoking jacket but it was never the same after I extinguished it.  Never put a lit pipe in your pocket.

Third-hand smoke ... for jesus sake don't admit to farting at home. Methane abuse will get you a life sentence in Alcatraz. I note the suggestion is that smoking should be banned in the home.
