Actually, tobacco effluent DOES cause cancer, both among those addicted to it, and thos involuntarioly exposed to it. It also cause a lot of other helath/comfort issues. Do you LIKE inflicting msery on your fellow citizens?
Im a non-smoker and think its a disgusting habit, but even more disgusting is a tyrant who wants to dicate what people put into their own bodies.

I am curious, do you know any one who fits that description?
I don't give a damn what a smoker does to himself. I don't give a dman if they get cancer and die, either, nor do I care if they mainline nictine and die of a self-inflicted overdoes.
What I do care about, is that they spoil the air with their toxic effluenct. Nobody has the right to foul the air people are breathing, with toxic effluent.
I'm sitting here in my office minding my own business when a co-worker walks in, straight from a smoke break, to ask for my help on something.
The entire time he's in the office and for at least a minute after he left the stench of smoke was in the air, and my eyes literally began to water.
This is of course nothing new, something I along with many others have encountered for years. The issue I've always taken with it is that in every office I've worked for a part of the employee handbook states that women should not wear an excessive amount of perfume, nor should men with cologne, because many people are sensitive to those. Well the same is true of cigarette smoke. Sending smokers outside for a break doesn't help much at all.
Is there any reason employers don't just simply ban their workers from entering in to the office smelling at smoke? If went to the city dump this morning and rolled around in trash for an hour I'd smell terrible, if I showed up at work my boss would send me home. Why not the same treatment for smokers?
It might be possible that you smell bad without smoking and with or without cologne.
Have you ever considered that people may smoke as a desensitization shield from other people's "natural" and masking emanations? (literal biological and chemical)
I have a strong impulse to smoke whenever I'm in the presence of a bullscatter, and can't leave.
Bullscatters are more offensive to my sensibilities that over-dosed cologniacs.
Their words smell worse to me than their mouth bacteria. Cigarette smoke is an effective shield. It helps to protect and defend one's personal space when short on farts. It also removes judgmentalism from the discourse.
When you come into my office, you say what you need to say, and then you leave.

Capiche!!!!
This thread is about the temporary lingering odor on somebodies clothing.
Capiche!!
I'm not a smoker, and I'm not really bothered by smokers' smell, but I can sympathize.
I was watching a bit of an extended ad for e-cigarettes yesterday, and I wondered if that would be the trend in the future. It was odd to see the actors eagerly "smoking" indoors and around kids, which brought back memories of my childhood in the smoke happy '70s. Supposedly electronic cigarettes only release water vapor, so they're "safe" to that extent. Are they as satisfying to smokers? Do they help the smokers avoid smelling like a chimney?
Maybe e-cigarettes would be a decent workplace compromise.
Or do anti-smokers find the thought of people essentially mimicking the act of smoking to be repulsive, as well?

If I were an employer, I would never hire a smoker. They have a full-time job already feeding their addictions.
