Bugger ...... that's it ..... no more sitting around the fire sucking on a cold can.
Now where did I leave that packet of fags?
O that's right I gave them up about three years ago.

Doesn't surprise me at all Vic as I have to avoid being around camp fires and cigaret smoke these days. Works most of the time.

I would think most campers don't sit in direct fire smoke for long before moving out of the smoke line whereas cigarette smokers are up close & personal with their smoke every waking hour. Most things in life worth doing involve some risk & camping with a campfire when permitted continues to be integral part of our travels & luckily we have never been cigarette smokers.

I have asked before about campfire etiquette. I love a campfire but I have often got a bit cranky with people who come along and camp pretty close to us
First thing they do is get the fire wood and set up the campfire a good distance from their van but a bit closer to mine, I can live with that until the breeze blows and
our van gets full of smoke. There are people on the road with respiratory problems so a little consideration goes a long way

God help us all, what do we do when there is a bush fire and there are a few in Aus. And all the wood burning stoves most of us were raised with, guess there is no hope for any of us

I don't think there are too many who sit downwind from a campfire and deliberately suck the smoke into their lungs.

I reckon I have sat around maybe 20 decent campfires in the last 10 years ,however I dont go out of my way to 'suck it up ".So in future I think I will run the gauntlet and continue a very peacefull and calming part of the day .Cheers Westy

You are spot on there mate, I have now applied the same principle to chocolate biscuits no mater what my better half says.
Just told her to make my regular meals a bit smaller so that the chocy bickies can be accommodated without affecting my waist line too much. Lol
Interesting....
