I know this can be a very emotional issue. In my opinion, the quilter should have mentioned she smoked in her advertising so the person wanting the work done had total knowledge of the situation so she could have made an informed choice. My BIL smokes and when he comes to our house, he goes outside to smoke. However, when he comes back in, he just brings the smell with him and transfers it to the furniture. For those us us who are really sensitive, even this little bit can be a problem. Febreeze works only to a degree. For me, when I get around perfume or smoke, my throat closes up. It becomes a medical issue. I try not to treat anyone like a second-class citizen but when it comes to my health, I have enough problems without adding anything else. I do miss the smell of my dad's pipe. Blessings to all.
