I suffer from the vice, so over the years I've learned methods of minimizing
its impact on others. May I suggest, opening the pages, and giving them a
thourough dusting with baking soda? Let them sit for a day or two, empty and
repeat, until you get the odor down to where you're comfortable.

cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
