If you fart in front of someone who is smoking, should you excuse yourself?

Question

Curious, because it seems as thought it would be hypocritical for a smoker to complain about bad odors....

Answer 1

LOL! That's funny, like the gas could explode if it gets near the cigarette ambers. I'm not sure how much methane gas is in a fart. That would be a good science project. You might have to collect a lot of the gas, or have that cigarette right at the point of release to generate an explosion.

I know they are looking at cow farts as a source of energy. No kidding.

Addendum: OK, I just read the extra info about the question. I like my discussion of it better, but yes, you should always excuse yourself. One person's bad habit does not excuse manners for another.
