Okay, since you ask, no I don't like the tobacco industry, nor most other drug dealers either. But despite that I believe most prohibition does more harm than good, and have no wish to ban acrylics. My posting was about public awareness, not authoritarian bans.

And I'm sorry to have to say that don't know your wife's habits well enough to comment directly (honest!) but I think in practical terms a swinging kilt is probably enormously more likely to contact a naked flame (see scenario above) than most positions she is likely to get into. But please do tell us otherwise...
