One thing in particular always blew my mind. Why is it that smokers never realise how the smoke invades everything? Once I told my mate to go smoke outside, and he obliged me with no argument which I was appreciative of, but then goes and stands a foot out the door to have his smoke and leaves the fuckin' door open! What the hell? He might as well be sitting next to me. Then he says "don't be silly, I was outside". The daft prat.
The other thing is even when they do go sufficiently far away to not let the smoke inside, they come back inside the very second they've thrown away the butt. Not only have they (more often than not) still got a lungful of smoke which gets exhaled inside, but they DRAG all the smoke inside on thier clothes. They need to... walk around a bit to air out... or something. When questioned, all my smoking mates (and ex-smoking mates) seem completely oblivious to this phenomena.

Someone please shed some light for me. Are there any smokers or ex-smokers who can tell me this - do smokers not REALISE that they're negating the effects of being outside by doing these things, or do they just not care?

I know I've used specific examples in this but I have observed this on many occasions, as I'm sure others have. I haven't cultured my pathalogical loathing for smokers based on nothing you know...

Again, no offense intended guys. I know we're all intelligent people here and if you like to smoke then its your business and I won't tell you not to.... however if you smoke around me you're likely to feel my surgical two-by-four
*blows smoke in your face*
