Why does smoke from a fire follow me no matter where I stand?

Because its the one place around the fire that the wind is prevented from pushing it away. If you are standing facing the fire, your body blocks the wind behind you allowing the wind in front of you to push the smoke in your direction with no opposing wind.

dont know about q1\n\nQ2 They push the heat out at the floor because the coler air is at the bottom of the floor and since hot air rises then then the hot air will circulate more by rising through the cooler air and warming it up as opposed to being near the ceiling where the hot air would just stay near the ceiling.\n\nQ3 The smoke is usually heated and composed alot of carbon monoxide. The heated smoke will rise as it is warmer than the cooler air around it, once it cools down to the temperature around it than it will usually fall back down since carbon monoxide is heavier than air and that it will also combine with other elements in the air.\n\nQ4 A continuous hot water system works better because the the hot water is circulated throughout whatever system it is heating, such as air or other water then return back to the heater (furnace) not cooled completely and still retaining some of the heat it originally had and since it is already warm it takes less energy and time to heat it back up to its original temperature.

There is no smoke without a fire. Something happen and you shouldn't ignore it. Your instinct is your natural defense system and most of the time, its on your side. \n\nAs per-you said, you are growing to love him. It is time for you to slow down or stop the growth process altogether. \n\nIf you shove this one aside and off to another venture, chances are you will find someone much worthy of you. Besides that, guys go crazy about you when they realize that you are an independent girl who doesn't wait around just because he decides to be an indecisive j***. Of course, he doesn't need to know the truth of your heart until he does something to earn such truth from you.\n\nWhatever you do, girl....you must realize that you are in a position with nothing to lose. Enjoy this "nothing to lose" moment and see whats good comes from it. \n\nGood luck!

You have forgotten the elements of fire. You need fuel, heat and oxygen. Too much oxygen or air like blowing on a candle doesn't allow for heat to burn the fuel, in this case the wick of a candle. It takes time for combustion to happen in the case of a candle since it's so small. You can't say the same for a forest fire or a building on fire. But dowsing it with water like a fire hose will eventually prevent combustion from happening.

I thought it was a smoker who holds his/her cigarette in the right hand then shifts it to the left after it is lit.  It would be the opposite for right handed people since it is easier for them to light a match or Bic with the right hand.  Then I discovered that there actually is such a thing as a "left handed smoke shifter" as detailed in the link.

An exercise I know of works very well, and it also has a lot of names. Some people call it "foot fire" or "quick feet". It works really well in a group, where someone is standing in front of you calling out what to do next. You stand in your defense position while stepping up and down very quickly, like you are stepping on coals. You should periodically jump so you are facing to the right or left of where you were facing before. The leader person should also tell you to slap the quickly hit the ground and continue the "foot fire".

My energy source is a wood stove and it makes smoke sometimes. I spread the ashes on my grass which helps it grow better. I use junk mail to light the stove.

You are unable to stand and loose items around you will move, including heavier items such as appliances.  If you are outside, sight lines will be altered as the ground itself ripples.  There is a deep, subsonic rumbling that vibrates your whole body.

If you trust yourself not to burn the place down, you could light some candles. The flame will burn the carbon particles in the smoke and make it clear up quicker.

It's a large amount of air pushing through a small space. It's not the "buns" flapping. It happens at the point of exit. \n\nThere really isnt any more delicate way to put it.\n\nI cant believe I just answered this question. I need a life!

well, i would definately call the police or something if i was not worried about getting shot in the face...but what you could do is call the fire department and say your smelling strange odors and think it maybe carbon monoxide and the fire department will come to your home/apt to do tests and maybe while they are their you could be like, im scared of druggies below me and stuff...

You can grow a tree and fireproof it. Or find something with a pretty high combustion point and internalize the tree with. PERHAPS the tree won't burn. =)

I'm having a hard time believing you actually got fined for tossing a butt out of your window, unless your area has a risk of forest fire then I could understand.  Your best bet is to take it to court and try to discredit the officer's observation.  Was it raining, foggy, was he parked off on the side of the road behind some foliage?  Were there other cars on the road with you that could have thrown the cigarette out onto the road? The main question you want to ask is "Can he reasonably prove that it was your cigarette?"  If you think that you can win the case then by all means try, that is what makes our legal system so great.  The only problem is that you may lose the trial and then have to pay your fine, plus court fees.

Does it happen any other time, or only when you're around smoke?  This sounds like an allergy to me.  Either way, I would have it checked out by a doctor.  Do you live with someone who smokes?  If not, then stay away from it as much as you can.  Most public places these days are smoke-free, so it shouldn't be too difficult.  Hope you feel better.
