Well said.
I wonder if people would be offended were I to mention their rank breath or body odour, as I was somehow born with the right not to have any nasty smell going up my nose.
Anyone who deals with the public knows how stinky and offensive people can be.
The smell of smoke barely comes into it.

Oh quite, on more than one occassion i've asked a client if they clean their teeth before they go to the dentist? Everytime they answer yes, to which i reply, " then why don't you wash your hair before you go for a haircut?" those are the guys who don't want to have it shampood at my salon.
Then i get guys who have been at the pub and come in breathing their alcohol breath in my face, i hate the smell of booze breath. At least as a smoker i eat mints or chew gum to freshen my breath.

That's where the problem I have with smokers blithers in like Boris Johnson. Whilst not smoking has no effect on others who choose to, those who do smoke are influencing the health of of those who don't smoke because of all the passive smoking shit that hits the news fan every 6 months or so.

However offensive body odour can be, it doesn't contribute to an early death.

Impressively you've managed to take what I said many hours earlier, DIRECTLY above your post, and phrase it in the manner of an asshole.

Don't be too sure of that stinky pants.
I can become quite aggresive, you know.

I don't think it's sanitary to be going around licking cities!

Really. I thought stripping out the double negatives and imposing a proper sentence structure was a great improvement.

Simple minds like simple sentences, I suppose.
My brain just happens to be capable of absorbing more complex ones, so I was quite happy with Sput's original.
