As a smoker who tries really hard to be conscious of those around him, I can definitely relate to the cold weather thing! I can notice it on myself even, and it drives me nuts. I have no idea what causes it, but I am quite glad that Saskatchewan is thawing out and I have another 6 months before the double-bad-smell comes back.

I've always wondered what it was. Does cold air carry the smell better? Is it the humidity and the cold weather is incidental? It also seems to change the character of the smell too; I notice it's even more stale smelling than it usually is.

When I smoked I would keep my hands much closer to myself in the winter(since I was cold standing outside like an idiot). So the smoke would definitely have more of a chance to waft over my body.
