I never have and never will. I just never got into it. Same thing with alcohol. I always figured more money for collectibles. That and i've been very unhealthy my whole life and didn't want to add to my problems. When I was young, I didn't collect any vintage because I connected them to tobacco and felt like there was a minimum age requirement to collect or even show interest in them. I never gave other non tobacco vintage any thought either because they were always with the tobacco cards. I know now that it sounds kinda funny but I was a wierd kid that carried a book bag to school and was called the walking tag/yard sale and never had school stuff in my book bag but did have coins, stamps, cards, and comics to sell or trade in it.

For the people that get cards from others that have a smoke smell, get a Sharper Image Air Ionizer or other brand and just set the card on a table next to it over night. By morning, the smell will be completely gone.
