Smoker's Riddle

As Miss Nozemoke entered the interview room, her host told her to keep eye contact with Mr. Lighter, since he would be the one making the final decision in her case. "However, he continued, "the men routinely change positions, but I can give you some clues that you can use to figure out who is sitting where." Miss Nozemoke mentally numbered the men 1 to 4 from left to right and used the clues to figure out where Mr. Lighter was seated.

Can you figure out where Mr. Lighter is sitting?

Clues:

* The pipe smoker will sit to the right of Mr. Lighter.
* Mr. Crumpet does not smoke cigarettes.
* Neither Mr. Crumpet nor Mr. Tray will sit in the third position.
* The ocigarette smoker will sit to the immediate left of Mr. Small.
* Mr. Crumpet will not smoke cigars.
* The cigarette smoker is just to the right of the cigar smoker.
* The cigar smoker is sitting on the end.
 
Topic Title: Smoker's Riddle
Topic Summary: It has been said that unless you are a complete moron, you should be able to solve this...

uh..............😉
 
Assuming that all the people are sitting facing the door (since the interviewee is supposed to "maintain eye contact" with one of them), whose "right" are we talking about?

For example, if Mr. Lighter is sitting left of the pipe smoker, is that his left or the interviewee's left?
 
I hate riddles like this.

My brain is too lazy to want to even try to figure them out 😛

yeah when it says "sit to the right of" is that Nozemoke's right or Mr Lighter's right?
 
Lighter, Tray, Small, Crumpet

Cgr, Cgt, nosmoke, pipe.

This took me about 10 minutes of thinking, but was interesting.

Your sig didn't let me stop thinking.

You've got the pipe smoker sitting three places away from Mr. Lighter..."to the right" means just that, on the next seat to the right.
