Well, I still don't think that the extra 2000 pounds can be attributed
to smoke.  Aviation fuel leaves a residue on the insides of parts, 
hydralic liquids leave residues, dirt is ground into everything inside
the plane, and accumulations of grease build up everywhere.  I could
perhaps grant you 500 pounds, but not 2000.  BTW, I don't smoke around
non-smokers.  It ain't nice.  Come March, when the new gum is available,
I hope to become a non-smoker.  Please, no flames, I'm weak on smoking
and don't take suggestions on how to stop easily.
