Not to be rude to those who smoke, but every one I know who smokes says they don't stink, them and their belongings are always clean and fresh, and I am like huh, yeah, then why can I smell you clear from down the shopping isle, or the minute you walk into my presence.
Smoke on clothing and hair and people just flat out stinks, and I used to ride in a cab to therapy, since the program payed for me to be picked up and dropped off, and the cab driver would light up the minute I was in the car and on the road, and I'd get home and my dad would tell me PHEW YOU STINK LIKE AN ASHTRAY.
And that always pissed me off because I had JUST had a bath and put clean clothing on that day and the cabbies smoking made me need another bath and to re wash my hair and a change of clothing after just 20 minutes in his cab with him smoking.

Have you ever been trapped in a car with a smoker as a nonsmoker? I have, that was my childhood, and it is WRONG to smoke in an enclosed area... shit, I can smell people stopped at lights smoking in the car next to me!
The trouble with what our olfactory system picks up, one tends not to be able to smell themselves or their enviroment, if the smell that is around them is a common occurence, our systems just sign it off as normal. But before people go on about how smokers stink, perhaps they need to examine themselves and what smells pervade from them, do they themselves smell and is that smell offensive to others. Of such smells, they include body odour, which can be very off putting, deoderants and perfumes that mask such smells, some of them are just not suited to the personage they are being applied to. The other thing about skin is that it is an important organ for the elimination of toxins out of the body and what one may eat, has a habit of being exuded from the skin as well as more familiar routes of expulsion. The result being everyone stinks au natrel and even more so with the chemicals we apply to ourselves to hide what we believe is offensive smells from ourselves.
But even as a smoker, certain odours ich me and they include some female and male perfumes, Anais Anais and Jupe, they actually bring a nauseaous feeling to myself when I am unlucky enough to detect the odours in society. Another smell that makes me retch, is that baby smell, stale milk and the sweet perfume of the baby wipe mixed together.
So if people choose to have the smell of burning plant that tobacco is around them they have to be allowed that, as other human smells are just as offensive to others and of the modern chemical smells that are applied to hide the natrual smell, just exactly what is it, what chemicals are present, any of them dangerous perchance ?
