Re: Radon and Smoking

I don't think it is the smokers who open the windows.  No matter how much

the room smells, it can never reach the concentration that they are

generating right next to their noses.  The windows probably get opened when

a non-smoker wants a little fresh air.  Or maybe they are opened by people

like my old roommate from Vermont who always had to sleep with the window

open, no matter what the outside temperature was.
