Unfortunately it's not as easy as not blowing smoke on a book while you're reading it. If your a heavy smoker your whole house is going to smell like smoke, and this so will everything in it. My Mom smokes, and my brother does not, and never has, but he lives at home where she smokes inside the house. Well he recently lent me a few of his own personal books and every one of them reeks of cigarette smoke. I know my Mom didn't read them, so just by being in the house the books have taken on the smoke smell. And it's lasted for days. Makes me sad to think what it's doing to my brother living there, if it can do that to books. Anyway I just wanted to clarify that the smokers may not be blowing on the books while reading them to give them that awful smell.
