Paul Ryan on Boehner's cigarette habit: "I just hate getting that smell in my clothes."

[Miles Archer]

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) really doesn't like House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) cigarette habit.

In a Q&A with the House Budget Committee chairman, Time's Belinda Luscombe asked Ryan if he ever asks Boehner to refrain from smoking.

"No," Ryan said. "But I try to sit as far away from him as I can in meetings that I know are going to be stressful. I just hate getting that smell in my clothes."

HuffPost reached out to Boehner's office for comment, and while press secretary Michael Steel didn't remark directly on Ryan's aversion to cigarette smoke, he did offer some criticism of President Barack Obama.

1. Thanks, Obama!

2. I guess he doesn't notice the smell of his own bullshit any more.

3. My dude is a health freak!

9. This was an actual picture of a vice presidential candidate.

It still blows my mind.

Not even like an awkward youth photo, they literally thought this was a good idea.

10. Ryan looks like he's emulating a Jamie Kennedy movie character

His white wannabe rapper from Malibu in 'Malibu's Most Wanted.'

4. Why does he get to smoke in public buildings when we can't....

The Capitol.

Truth.

18. I think they usurped the order by claiming they are leglislative.

The President issued an Executive Order 13058, "Protecting Federal Employees and the Public from Exposure to Tobacco Smoke in the Federal Workplace," on August 9, 1997, establishing a smoke-free environment for federal employees and members of the public visiting or using federal facilities. In furtherance of EO13058, GSA issued FMR Amendment 2008-08, which enforces additional restrictions in GSA-controlled buildings.

5. I thought it was against the law to light up in government spaces?

Boehner gets a pass?

6. First time I ever agreed with Ryan

He should tell him though.

7. Between all the booze, cigarettes and who knows what else. He's gotta smell like open ass. nt

14. That literally made me LOL!

15. Laughter is certainly better than nausea ;-)

11. Along with the smell of cheap alcohol stained clothes, urine, and vomit

A back alley wino probably doesn't smell worse.

13. Does he mind the dirt stains on his knees when he's pitching to lobbyists?

Give me money and I'll cut this program.
Give me money and I'll (garbled, garbled)

16. Perhaps that explains the orange color!

[madville]

17. I can agree with him on that

Once I quit smoking I couldn't believe how horrible it smelled and how it sticks to you. When you smoke you don't even notice it though.

19. Ryan's health should be his first and only priority...

Resign. Right now.
