Yesterday I tweeted a link to a piece in the Irish Independent.

Entitled The Anti-Smoking Puritan, it begins:

Lips: Pursed.

Eyes: Sharp and beady, like a merciless bird of prey.

Nose: Permanently crinkled as a pre-emptive defence against the foul odour of tobacco smoke

Voice: Tighter than piano wire

Overall expression: A sort of sanctimonious disgust

It should be pinned to noticeboards up and down the country.
