I pride myself on being open-minded.

My wife doesn't smoke, but that's merely because she doesn't like it.

If she did, I shouldn't make the slightest objection.

All the same, you oughtn't to go puffing cigarettes about the streets of Ballymoy.

The Major's a bit old-fashioned in some ways, and I don't expect Doyle is accustomed to see ladies smoking.
