I have to admit I do hate the smell which is why I Choose to smoke out doors. Often when in Pubs and clubs too if possible.

I thought Dublin had it sorted when I visited - I came home not feeling smoke dried and smelly. As for trying to relate smoking to someones ethics or personality thats just frankly stupid ;-)

You know better than to resort to attacking the poster, no matter how wrong you think they are, Allan!
I can't remember that I've ever 'attacked' another poster or twat for that matter.

I do however admit to having made retaliatory comments on a number of occasions, which if my memory serves me well is quite legitimate.

Not when it in itself amounts to personal attacks it's not!

I also hate the small of most air fresheners, cheap body spray, cooked chicken stalls in supermarkets, donut stalls. And two-stroke engines.

And the fact that it's difficult to get a good curry, such that one's hands smell of it the next day. I blame either bloody political correctness, or the fact that the english like bland food & nasty smells.

It's a tough life!

Bloody hell - this has got quite warm!

Buying a car from a smoker? If it smelt of smoke, I'd be haggling for a large discount on price.

The smoky smell can be removed quite easily, although it takes a bit of work.

Also smokers smell! I should know! Odd thing is, I don't like the smell, and it was compounded today when the two people I've had working on a bid for me kept coming back after a sneaky fag to stink the office out.

Nearly given up now, but who was the bloke who was rattling on about discipline? Thankyou, I fit your profile perfectly........

No, it's perfectly true;

Some brands of cigarettes are unbelievably bad. It's like a fire in a fem-fresh factory.

My sisters first car was a Fiat Panda owned by a guy who smoked cigars!

After a whole day of scrubbing the brown interior of the roof we found out it was white

Never smelt again after a good clean!

I smoke, no tobacco, food or drink will go anywhere near my car though. There are no air fresheners in it either and it smells of leather

I did buy a second hand monitor once that smells of cigarette smoke though.
