    It’s because as the hot air rises, cool air comes in from all sides of the fire. Your body blocks that air from one side, so the prevailing current of cool air feeding the fire is biased towards you and it carries the smoke with it.

      I never thought about it that way but it totally makes sense. Thanks!

      But than again: it comes always to me and not to others. And it’s the same for the others. The smoke always goes to them too

        I wonder if it could be the largest person blocking the most air.

        That would explain why it happens to me anyway…

            Just admit that you are in the same group and you are both talking about yourself since everyone feels the smoke always goes to them

        When it’s coming towards you, it’s grabbing your attention, and you make note of it. When it’s coming towards someone else, this is not so.

            Thats impossible, my grandma always called me a handsome lad. She’d never lie to her own dear little grandson.

      Imma sell a “smoke diverter” that’s a wide piece of cardboard on a stand. Put it opposite your seat at the fire, boom, no more smoke.

        Source? Don’t let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
