Hard disagree. I flew lots in the 80s and you could be halfway back in the non-smoking section and still smell it constantly. They had curtains separating the smoking/non-smoking sections but so many people went back/forth that their body movement would “drag” the smoke back down the aisle with them as they walked. Then on top of that the smokers going back to the bathroom would make sure they’d taken a huge puff before heading back, breathing out along the way, because heaven forbid they go a few minutes without a lungful.
- bombolo 4y agoSmoker's people sense of smell is severely compromised. They have no clue how strong the smell is.
- ornornor 4y agoI suspect they also don’t really want to know how strong and obnoxious the smell is to the rest of us.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoOnly speaking for myself as a smoker: I can smell it very prominently indoors without powerful ventilation. I don’t like it for me and don’t want to inflict it on others. I either steer clear of people outdoors, or put it out if they’re going to be nearby. The only exception is if they want to interact with me individually while I’m smoking, then I stand as far away as I can for the interaction they invited.
- ornornor 4y agoI wish all smokers were as considerate as you are.

- bombolo 4y agoWhen I was a child I hated going to restaurants in the winter because we'd have to sit in a cloud of smoke. Otherwise at home and school there was no smoke. Smoke was theoretically already forbidden everywhere but nobody cared.
