Right through the lamented Southam days. I think the newsroom had gone no smoke earlier - i.e., early '90s - as the likeable Paul Juhl liked to pop in for a few hurried butts with a local honcho, Liz Metcalf. Funny, there was no thought of the nonsmoking majority; nor did we much complain. One can adapt to nearly anything - by which I mean the nonsmoking office. Yours, JD Dear Steve,
