BTW, I'd love to meet up in Paris. Unfortunately, I'll be in Chicago.

Um. Well. While neither Mrs. Xyzzy nor I are smokers, we will be able to graciously deal with the situation, and thank you much for the heads up! We will pack extra spray stuff
And for who might want to attend that do smoke... please come, no worries! We would never begrudge you a nip out from a gathering. I smoked for years myself.
ILuvParis, you will be missed in Paris! -W
