Yes, I would. But I'd own my house.

Similarly, if I did the same thing to him, I'd expect him to get pissed.

But if I were moseying down the sidewalk and smelled burned rubber, I'd have nothing to say about it, because I do not own the block, or the air.

Eleo, I don't want to turn this into a racial thing, but you're black. White people have extremely porous hair. Don't tell me you've never heard any black people say that white people smell like wet dogs when they get wet. There's even a book called, "Why Do White People Smell Like Wet Dogs When They Come Out of the Rain?" It's basically a book that explains black and white stereotypes.

My point is that white people - ESPECIALLY white people with naturally blonde or red hair - pick up smells and hold them. If I go into a pizza restaurant, for example, I'll smell like pizza until I take a shower. Cigarette smoke clings to me. If I walk through a cloud of it in the morning, I'll still smell it in my hair that night, and not just faintly, either.

Last I checked I "own" my body.

So don't walk it through my smoke and exercise true control of it. You make it seem like smokers are going out of their way to confront you and blow smoke right into your face.

I mean, what, because you own your body you can legally do whatever you want?

"Can't arrest me, I own my body, you're not allowed to touch it."

"So what if I'm in your house? I own my body, I can do what I want!"

Like I said earlier, I've never found a non-smoker to smell like smoke to demonstrate.

Similarly, never found a wet white person to smell like a wet dog. I thought that was just a dumb stereotype; kind of like niggers stealing TVs.

Well I'm not certain if your nose is damaged, you're lying, or it's just a ridiculously improbable coincidence, but the smoke smell definately does linger on nonsmokers who have been around people smoking.

no, but smoke drifts easily, sometimes if a place like a coffee shop decided not to use AC, and opened their windows... all the smoke outside would drift in, and everyone would have to smell it.. You don't do it intentionally but it happens anyway.

I'm sorry but people who say second hand smoke doesn't cause cancer are just in denial. One thing I've noticed about smokers is that they are in denial because they can't stop smoking, so they just make up whatever BS to make themselves feel better. As for the non-smokers that actually use the argument that second hand smoke hasn't been proven to cause cancer, use your brains. You can taking in the same cancer causing chemicals, just not directly into your mouth and lungs. But you are taking them in.

Double Post:
Oh, it most certainly does. I walked by someone smoking on the street. Walked by, so that means I spent less than a second next to a smoker outdoors, and I smelled it on my clothes after walking 3 blocks back to my place.

then why did you go and do it anyway?

I remember my mom borrowing a fleece jacket of mine, and when I got it back it hella smelled like smoke. But that's neither here nor there. All I'm saying is that I'm not racist, I just hate the jews.

what with their matzoh bread and their stylish religious leaders.

it's not fucking jealousy.

fuck you.

:(

Okay. You win. Smoking should be banned from the planet!

This thread should be closed.

I don't think "ZOMG IM LOSING AND CANT ADMIT IT" is a valid reason to close a thread, Eleo. But what do I know?

Actually, it's because we're now arguimg whether or not and how quickly and how permanently smoke does or doesn't stick to your hair and clothes, which apparently has something to do with whether you're negroid or caucasian. It was at that point that I realized I don't care anymore.

I'm glad smoking has been banned in most bars and restaurants, because I think it's the most disgusting habit on the planet, and those who partake should be burned at the stake for their sheer stupidity...HOWEVERT, it makes you wonder what's next....

Eddie Izzard does a stand-up routine and starts it by remarking, "So, no more smoking in bars anymore...and soon no drinking and no talking."

I think it's good that they have banned smoking inside bars where people eat. Only because it sucks to be huffing smoke while your chomping on some good. Other then that I get stuck outside with the family everytime we go out to eat due to everyone esle smoking but me :P
