Always happens

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.
- NO! The smoke hates me personally and is trying to kill me on purpose.
  
  Probably true.
  
  Campfire smoke definitely has toxic ex vibes.
- 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…
  
  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.
- 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.
  
  Gonna need to sell left- and right-handed versions if you want to capture the market

Ancient humans would understand this and I think that's cool.

If your campfire is that smokey, and laying down that much, it isn't hot enough.
- And probably wet.

I'm not sure how many people can relate, but this is a thing.
- It is a thing because of physics https://youtu.be/WgxO7vhlF7A?si=8R7hNf4eW7tp_9v1

"Smoke goes after thieves" is what we always say.
- I've heard about it going after who got laid most recently of the group
  
  Geez, that changes some of the boy scout camps!
- Where I'm from smoke follows beauty. Americans are pretty vain.

White rabbit, white rabbit!

Savu seuraa lampaannussijaa.
- Håller med fullständigt
- I just heard it about generally getting laid, not specifically about sheep lol

Yeah

Smoke is bad for you… mmmkay.
- I don't think anyone has ever said otherwise.
  
  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.
- Ok boomer
