I do, unless it's cigar or weed smoke which both smell good to me.

I like the smell of smoke, especially outside. Smoke on!

Have you considered there might be a mental deficiency that causes you to like something that is so nasty and unhealthy?

It's like saying you enjoy eating chimp feces. You seem to think it's ok to like it, but it really isn't.

No, I just haven't had my brain scrambled by zealot propaganda. I prefer to do my own thinking. I also like the smell of wood smoke, peat smoke, 2 cycle exhaust, and gasoline. Whether something smells good or not has nothing to do with it's health. Anyone skilled at the thinking arts would understand that ;^)

Lucky you never went to a Grateful Dead concert.

Maybe someone would have noticed when you turned blue, I doubt they would have done anything helpful though.

If you were skilled at thinking, you wouldn't make sweeping generalizations about the majority of the human race. :awe:

You're not alone in this. I'm an ex-smoker who always liked the taste and smell of tobacco smoke. I quit not because of my health, but because the imported cigarettes I preferred got too expensive.

Considering smoking increases your chance of MI, CVA, COPD, cancer, emphysema, stains your teeth, costs money to sustain, and gives zero benefit... :\

I vote to increase healthcare premiums even more for these idiots.

No but, I hold my breathe when the secretary at work walks by. I think she buys her perfume by the gallon and bathes in it.
