If you are a smoker, I'm not sure your views are unbiased. As for the "smell" of smoke, which you seem to think is non-existent. When I used to come back home after a visit to my mother's (a smoker), my husband would always comment "I see you've been to your mom's house - I can smell the smoke." I always made sure I would wear my old clothes over there and stuff that didn't need to be dry-cleaned. As for you not being able to smell, perhaps you have serious problems with your olfactory senses. I have met many people who cannot smell strong odors. I used to work in a large research laboratory. About two years ago there was an incident with an experiment where two chemicals reacted and produced a very noxious and horrible odor and they evacuated the building. There were people who claimed they couldn't "smell a thing." Amazing. I guess you're like those people. It's your loss. As for trying to get personal with insults about my own personal smell, try and stick on the topic.

She most definitely was not handing out personal insults to you.  She was stating facts.  If you want to take the facts and twist them around as a personal assault, that's your business.

But the rest of us can see that she did not personally attack you.  If you don't agree with something someone says, then you are the one that turns it into a personal attack.

Why don't you move on.  You are not very popular on this thread.

Are you sure you are a Conservative?  Not a personal attack, but by the way you post, I do have the right to ask.

"Just once, I want to hear from an honest smoker who can say "hey, I enjoy it, but I know I'm causing other people some level of distress."'

Just once, I want to hear from an anti-smoking nazi like yourself that you understand the meaning of personal property rights.
