Why campfire smoke always blows in your direction

Did you know… When you sit near a fire, the rising hot air creates a low-pressure zone that pulls air (and smoke) toward you, especially when your body blocks some of the airflow. This effect can cause the smoke to be drawn into your face, making it seem like the smoke is always following you. To reduce this, have everyone sit evenly around the fire so the smoke is less likely to be pulled toward any one person.
