Now the place smells like an R.J. Reynolds wet dream. The only thing worse is when you get stuck on an elevator with a cancer stick junkie as they are coming back from the smoke hole.

I smoke. I love to smoke. I love the taste, the smell, the feeling it gives me.

I try to be conisderate of non smokers, and am careful about 2nd hand smoke, but sometimes non smokers just get out of hand.

What If I rolled around in garbage and smelled like crap then decided to come into your office? What if your clothes ended up smelling like garbage because of this? Wouldn't you be mad?

I realize this is an extreme example, but I think it's a good one.

Most smokers dont realize how disgusting that smells until they quit. A friend of mine quit a few months ago and he goes non-stop about how nasty the smoke smells on people's breath and clothes- not only when smoking. Don't take it personal though :)

But the analogy with someone smelling like garbage is pretty accurate. Imagine someone coming up to you and start talking to you with their breath smelling like ass. You turn your head, try to breath through your mouth, esperately try to create some space but eventually it just gets unbearable and you run away.

Although some smokers are really conscious about this and know how to avoid getting it on their clothes and breath- particularly the women. Kudos to them.

It is your right to roll around in garbage and smell bad if you want. It does not interfer with health nor ability to do my job. If you threw the garbage on my floor and started rolling around in it, I would have something to say, but hellfire, will we soon start going againt people for eating garlic, or wearing cheap perfume?

LOL!

Would you still believe that if I farted just before coming into your office and carried the smell in after me so it was still there when I left? :D

My co-workers know that I hate the smell of seafood. They make it a point to bring it into my office every time they heat it up for lunch. How nice of them. :)

Stop whining.

One of the stores I used to own was in a small town where the richest family in town owned a HUGE hog farm. You have not smelled BAD until you smelled these guys coming in for lunch. They spent a LOT of money there and had major influence in the town, so kicking them out wasn't an option. But I did bargin with them to have them come in an hour later so they didn't stink up the busiest part of the lunch hour.

You forgot hospitals and child care centers.
You know, I actually did smoke when I was an inpatient in a emergency clinic in GA. I was bumming cigs off the guy in the next bed. Whole thing was pretty strange.

That's also where I learned that grits are teh nastay.

That's nothing, IOO worked downwind from a Mushroom Farm. You do know what they grow Mushrooms in don't you? When the wind picked up you'd swear the guys next to you crapped his pants!
