I'm afraid you can't avoid it altogether (unless you are hermetically sealed!)
However, you could get one of those Whirlpool fabric freshener devices. They seem to have a fairly small footprint and aren't terribly expensive. Depending upon whether or not you are an exec with your own office, you might keep one in the office, as well--a quick freshening of your jacket at work would get rid of the offending odor (at least in the garment closest to your nose and most likely to have absorbed a bit of the smoke smell).

I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these, myself. I think it would decrease my need for dry cleaning considerably (and thereby lengthen the lifespan of my clothing).

I would have given the cretin a good lashing (not with the Briggs, of course.) I always keep a strap of barber's leather in my Valextra tote for just this sort of occasion.

Granted it shouldn't be a real issue but that said it is still annoying that I have to be stuck smelling a cancer stick. And I agree that it always seems that smoke comes to me. Uhg.Originally Posted by A Canuker
Well, sure its anoying. But to start throwing a tantrum and worrying, simply because some blows a little smoke on your suit, seams a bit extream. Atleast in my world.

you guys are being a bit harsh. if the smoker blew the smoke on the OP directly when the smoker had the option of being considerate and blowing smoke in another direction, the smoker was being an a-hole. So the question is, what do you do with an inconsiderate a-hole? Just because a smoker is outside doesn't give him the right to do whatever he wants. If he wants to do that, the smoker should do so at home.
Now, if the smoke was blown by the wind toward the OP, then the OP needs a diaper change.

I see no offense unless the smoke is blew directly in OP's face, but in that case his suit is probably the least of his concern...

Why is it that smokers always seem to be upwind?Originally Posted by KitAkira
It's not the wind. I smoke trying to avoid my smoke blowing towards others, however if I didn't know better I'd say it was electrostatic attraction. That being said, it's always possible to blow smoke upwards when suddenly surrounded by non-smoking passerby's.
But if assaulted by a Brigg, I'd do my civic duty by disarming the offender, retaining the weapon as a war trophy.

It's just as offensive if I'm standing in a line and someone is smoking behind me and blowing the smoke right against my back. Granted, it's not my face, but it's still rude. Is it less rude if someone spit on your back rather than on your face?

If you know anyone that can blow smoke hard enough for you to feel from your fully dressed back, please let me know. I would need his/her service.

?? So this is your threshold for being rude, that someone has to feel the smoke penetrate through the garment? You're probably one of those self-entitled smokers.

I think it's a bit insane to worry about smokers outdoors, but I do hate when I travel back home (Virginia) or someplace where I'm not familiar with the smoking laws (anywhere but New York and LA) and find myself indoors where smoking is permitted. I'm not trying to get my clothes cleaned every time I wear them for a night, but I can't stand them smelling like smoke, either.
