Smokers hate the very idea that cigarette smoke smells bad to non smokers. They also have no idea how far away from them the bad smell drifts.

When a smoker says “mind if I smoke?” I sometimes ask them “mind if I fart?”. If it is the first time they have heard that old joke they are taken back but if they have heard it before they usually say “sure go ahead”. LOL!

You’ve made a couple of very broad, and rather insulting comments here today, and that is so very unlike you, my friend.

Fine, you do not like the smell, I can fully appreciate that, but not all ex-smokers or never smokers feel the same way. In fact I know many who actually enjoy it. One example is a dear friend of ours, a lovely lady who will be 76 next week is a never smoker, yet keeps ashtrays around for anyone who does. She says she enjoys the smell and it reminds her of her late husband, who was a smoker. He was 12 years her senior, and a long time smoker who did NOT die of a smoking related illness, but rather complications from a work related injury.

I’m really surprised you would make such broadbrushed comments.

A smoker is polite enough to ask your permission to smoke and instead of thanking him for asking and politely refusing permission, you have to give them a smart assed answer guaranteed to piss most people off. No wonder smokers hate non smokers.

I remember going to weddings years ago, and you were assigned seats with smokers. You were dressed up and went home with smoke on your clothes and in your hair.

Smokers obviously like the smell, which is not understandable to non-smokers..

Smokers hate the very idea that cigarette smoke smells bad to former smokers. I never knew how bad the smell was, until I hadn't had one in a long time.

I know what you mean. I quit over 7 years ago and a few years back when we went looking at used vehicles, as soon as you opened the door of a vehicle owned by a smoker the smell would hit you in the face like a frying pan.

Sometimes it would be so bad I would gag. Its funny how you never noticed the smell as a smoker but when you are not around it for awhile due to quitting, it really IS offensive.

Once in a blue moon someone may be smoking nearby and it will smell good, but most of the time it just stinks.
