I read somewhere there's a reason for that. The smoke actually does follow you around. I get it at my house burning incense. I even keep a fan to push smoke offof me but it still finds me.
I just now found a lot of links explaining it. Here's one. https://anenglishmanoutdoors.com/2021/11/why-does-campfire-smoke-follow-you/
That explains why when you're alone by the fire, but it doesn't explain why there's always one unlucky bastard when it's a large group. There's plenty of bodies so it's not just air pressure pulling the smoke. It's fate that someone must be the sacrificial smoked lamb.
The nature selection or so I am told when I do something stupid and end up hurting myself.
