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.
I dont know why it hates me, I do enjoy lighting firepits so it can exist in the physical realm and be free, I'm trying to help it! Why wont you love me smoke!
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…
Nah, in my group it's always one guy and he is pretty small.
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
Yo momma so fat, when she sits around the fire, she really sits around the fire.
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.
thatsthejoke.zip
I'm not downloading that.
It ain't downloadable. It's just that .zip is a top level domain so anything that ends with .zip is formatted as a link, see.zip ?
I'm joking, sorry for the confusion.
Apology accepted
It says this site can't be reached. No domain. Do I have to add it to my hosts file? What's the IP?
That happens often, don't worry. They have a section about that problem on their FAQ page: faq.zip
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
And a pink one that costs 50% more marketed as “for women” or “for her”
Then you put out the tacticool camo version and the upscale material version that's just made out of aluminum.
And don’t forget the designer one, which just has a Supreme logo on it yet costs 30x more
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.
I just heard it about generally getting laid, not specifically about sheep lol

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.
