You wouldn't know if you smell anyways.

And the same principles apply to you as 1 pack a day person. Your sense of smell/taste is completely off.

Only way to know is to ask the people around you that don't smoke!

You're an idiot if you think my pack a week at most is the same as a pack a day. You're an idiot any way but thanks for proving it once again.

Thats like saying someone that drinks a case of beer in a week is the same as one who drinks a case a beer a day.

My sense of smell and taste is not affected by my smoking as it stands today. I have been a heavier smoker in the past and you're damn right it did then, and I could tell I smelled bad then too.

If they cared, they wouldn't smoke, but they don't care so they smoke because they are assholes.

If that was too long to follow, let me summarize: Smokers are assholes.

ANd you're an asshole for just existing :p

As long as they are not smoking around you, why should you care?

If they aren't around me, I don't care. But they are still assholes. It is simple really. Every smoker will eventually smoke around others. Because smokers are assholes. Let me speak ex cathedra for a moment. Smokers are assholes.

That's like saying people that drink alcohol around others are assholes.

They are, BTW.

The smell is god awful and when I clean out computers full of that yellow, spongey dirt I can't help but think what 30 years of that shit looks like in your lungs. :gross:

It varies from person to person, some people don't really smell after smoking and some smell really badly. It probably has something not just with the clothes they have but also their skin and hair maybe they are a bit of different composition and are absorbing the smoke more than in others.

Woah bro, you got DEEP issues. Please don't force that on him.

Thx

Anyone who would name themselves after a terrible nickname from a terrible movie is the biggest asshole of them all.

IronWing started the nonsense. I'm just taking his trolling to a whole new level.

Another smokers are smelly assholes thread. The game never changes just the players.
That's not true. I try to post in every one of these threads. Okay, maybe the older smokers die off and new smelly assholes take their places in these threads but I'm steadfast here for you man.

Probably varies with the kind of cigarettes too.

Already explained it but I will again for people who keep overlooking.

The people who smell the worst live in it. They smoke all day every day, in bed - on the toilet, everywhere. You would be surprised how many idiots there are that smoke 1-2-3 packs a day and just live in that filth. Drive with their windows UP while chain smoking to work. All of that.

True, but look at his post in this thread. He is amazing. Not TFP amazing, but he is getting there.

When I was in high school and college, I worked at a mom and pop computer shop. I used to ALWAYS hate it when we got computers in like this:

The smell was just putrid and disgusting. Now we of course got in computer with lots of dust bunnies, but a smoker's computer was by far the worst and you could smell it from a mile away.

I'm just kidding too, I like you're name :p

I don't hate vDub as much as I claim to either. Who doesn't like a little pot every now and then? I'm certainly not one to judge

People become inured to whatever smell they're around all the time. When I worked in a tortilla plant I never noticed the smell. When I went back weeks after quitting I was surprised by it.

We got a laptop in at work that needed service for overheating. Not only was the HS exhaust blocked by a clump of dust and whatever else...

After we cleared the blockage, the HS would exhaust a strong cigarette smell. It was terrible!

Right? The best part is when you bring it to their attention, I have put the chunky shit in a zip lock to show them in the past, they just kinda look at you and shrug their shoulders or have this dumbfounded look on their face. Really?
