Yeah..smelly being the keyword. Steam doing the actual damage to my

My uncle smoked Camels and he was always choking on them. He died at
the ripe old age of 58 with an oversized heart, probably due to many
different factors. He was a farmer his whole life and breathed hay dust
in the field and barn, cow dander, pig dander, chicken dander and smoked
those damned Camels all the while. What I remember best about him was that
he used his rolled up pants cuff for an ash tray while smoking at the
'after-dinner' table. Either that or his dinner plate, which probably
didn't set very well with my aunt.
