Shouldnt matter. He goes outside to smoke, if the other roommate doesnt like it, thats his problem.
Stop smoking and you wont have to deal with him, plus you will have alot more extra cash that way.

Actually it matters quite abit. If the roomate was led to believe that he was going to be living with a non-smoker and got stuck with a smoker then he has every right to bitch. On the otherhand, if he knew what the OP was and chose to live with him anyway then he should STFU.

Too much cologne can trigger asthma attacks.
I don't have asthma, and if someone's wearing too much of some perfume or cologne, it makes my throat start to tighten up; it's just an overwhelmingly unpleasant blast of scent.
And yes, 1 cigarette can make a person smell bad. I used to work on someone's PC sometimes. I eventually stopped bringing it home to work on because it made the entire house stink of cigarette smoke, and I had to wash my clothes to get the smell out. It's a really distinctive and unpleasant stink for those who don't want it around, and live in an otherwise relatively smell-free house.
I smoked for a few years and once I was having a smoke outside of a store while my gf was inside shopping. These two guys made a comment to each other as they walked by me. They said "I don't know why people smoke cancer sticks." I could tell they were trying to be funny and they wanted me to hear it. After my cigarette I walked right up to them in the store and asked them if they had a problem.

AGREED.
In addition, you smokers smell like sh!t. You may go outside to get your fix, but when you come back inside, you drag your sh!tty smoky smell back inside with you on your breath and in your clothes.
And don't get me started on the a**holes that throw their half used cigarettes and used butts on the ground:|
If those things weren't cancerous, I'd be all over them. Also, I kinda like that smoke smell that binds to people's clothes. As for the act itself, if you're not blowing it in his face, doing it in a confined area near people, whatever.
roomy sounds like an ass...i could see him being pissed if you smoke inside but since its outside he should leave you alone
Wow, didn't expect such a response.
The smell: That's his excuse for bitching but I don't really believe it. Here's why; I actually stopped smoking after the super bowl. But I continue to go outside and pretend to smoke because I don't want him to have the satisfaction of thinking he had anything to do with it. His comments haven't changed.
Even if it was the smell, I still think I'm right. There's stinky food in the fridge, we both play sports, the bathroom is not exactly immaculate - hey, let's not be so pretentious here. Sharing space with someone is all about compromise and not bitching about every little thing. I know what smokers smell like, that's why I know it's not that big of a deal. We're talking about 1 or 2 smokes a day, and I would avoid him afterwards anyway.
To Jeff 7: He always used to make comments about how it was going to kill me, so one time I told him that his drinking was going to kill him (equally inane and untrue) he countered that at least it didn't stink when he drank. I don't think it's actually the stink, I think it's because of he has internal issues.
To ironwing: we knew each other before we got the apt.; but I don't think he knew I smoked (I probably didn't at the time, it's always been an off and on thing with me) so I'm not sure where that puts me in your judgment...
just to put the whole smell thing to rest: I agree that if it really was because of the smell, I should change my behavior. Whether it's avoiding him after a cigarette, or just not smoking at all when I'm not there. I just don't think it's the issue at all.

You roomie is right. You may only smoke outside, but the stink carries with you back inside. Heck, most smokers have breath that stinks a mile into the wind, even if they haven't smoked in a while.
Ooooo... a tough guy :laugh: Do that a few times and you're bound to run into someone that will kick your @ss from here to next week -- or worse.
The big question is who's name is on the lease? If its in your name kick him the hell out and get a roommate that isn't such a pansy.
I have a guy in my class that smokes..
When he comes in the classroom the whole class gets so disrupted by his stink, so I can see what he is saying.
However, if you do choose to smoke try somehow to get the smell out of you for the benefit of oters around you.
