That's just nuts. I hear that smoking affects the taste buds. If that's true, you'd think they'd roll out the red carpet for smokers, because the smokers would be less able to discern what the food really tastes like.

Obviously cigarette smoke doesn't affect the taste buds of smokers or you wouldn't see so many fat smokers. It does, however, affect the taste buds of non smokers. It destroys the taste of food if cigarette smoke is breathed while eating. That is why (this) non smoker get so upset if smoke drifts into the non smoking area. (I am speaking for myself & other non smokers may or may not be affected like this)
