   As someone who no longer smokes but must   
   suffer the "second hand" offerings of those   
   who do, I'll buy that!  But in my case it's   
   "redness" of the eyes, not "yellowness."   
   Come to think of it, I once had REALLY yellow   
   eyes after contracting hepatitus! I'll bet   
   my eyes are still more yellow than the average   
   person's who has never had hepatitus.
