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 ;^)

Hell yes. I love the smell of those things, and each has a general feeling associated with it as well.

I think I might do it too...unconsciously.

That said, I do love the smell of many things that burn.

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.

The ironing is delicious.

Most people here are pretty young but back as late as the 80's it was "normal" to smoke anywhere the hell you pleased. MY first job out of college was with a company that is now out-of-business. I was placed in an office with one other guy ... a chain smoker. Every day for a year I would go home smelling like an ash tray and having effectively smoked at least a pack of cigarettes because of having to breathe in this guy's second-hand smoke. When I complained about having to breathe in all this smoke I was basically laughed at ... as most of the management also smoked in their offices.

It would have been tough to hold my breath for 9 hours a day.

Nope. Then again I smoke, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I didn't smoke anyway.

I smoke cigars occasionally, but I still hold my breath as I walk past cig smokers. That shit smells nasty. Cigars, pipes, and weed on the other hand all smell good.
