I can't stand cigarette smoke either now. I'p made the full switch a couple weeks ago. I rented a carpet cleaner and then washed everything in my place that could be put in the washer. They always say, the worst non-smoker is an ex-smoker. I avoid tobacco smoke as much as I can...,cigar smoke is the worst for me..,.I actually turn green if I breath it for too long...that's how sick it makes me.
