    I think they realize that it can harm other people with second-hand-smoke and also it may stink really bad, but many times smokers are not aware of how bad their breath may stink .

    Well, I'm sure they know they can make others sick... I think that part just doesn't matter so much to them. They've got the 'if they don't like it, they don't have to be around it' mentality.

    But as for the odor of smoke, they don't notice it. It's like how everybody has a 'smell', like their house, but they can't smell it.

    No they don't.

    Like homeless people when they pee they've grown pretty much immune to the nasty smell they find the air really normal to breathe. So normality for them would be sniffing there un clean asses and un washed body. Same goes for smokers because the smell of ciggerettes never leave them no matter how much they have a shower. Because inside their organs the smell of ciggerettes attach to their lungs. (Thats why they cough)

    Yes, they do but they try to eat mints and use mouth spays that don't really work.Some smokers don't really care, they only care about their selves. That is why they feel that they have the right to blow there smoke in our direction and we should not complain.How would they like it if we blew our internal gas in their face.

    people who smoke are so used to it that they themselves do not notice it. my aunt who smokes had a friend over who was in her house for 20 minutes and had to leave because her house smelled like smoke. She said that she had no idea it was that noticable
