I have to say that I find this whole thread rather amusing. Ashes are as 
sterile as any thing you could possibly imagine. Second hand smoke theories 
aside, I see no reason for the sterility question to be even considered when 
involving cigarette smoking in this instance given that the smoker was not a 
food handler or cook and had no opportunity to 'infect' the food with 
bioorganic nasties spread by continuously touch ing the cigarette itself.  
Perhaps this is just another overreaction by the nonsmoking world to a 
personal pleasure that has for whatever bizarre reasons taken on some over 
blown socially significant position in the scheme of things?
