It looks like moisture/sweating stains and recently painted walls.

Is there an attic above this ceiling or a living area? It appears to be nicotine to me.

They used the wrong type of paint for a wet/damp environment.

My first thought was Smokin in the Boys Room, too. Why none on the walls?

Because smoke rises.

Really! Thanks for the heads up!

C'mon David....

Point is , there was none - absolute zero staining on the walls.

As a former smoker, I can tell you that when I would smoke in the house (ages ago) the smoke did not bypass the walls on its way up to the celing. Nicotine stains were everywhere - although more on the ceiling, you could see staining on the walls also.

So your saying that cigarette smoke will stick to the walls just as much as it would to ceilings. Your wrong.

As a former smoker myself, I'm willing to bet that that stain is from smoking in the bathroom.

No, that is not what I'm saying. Re-read the post.

Never said it wasn't.

I was commenting that it was odd that there is no staining whatsoever on the walls.

I never said that it will stick to the walls just like the ceilings.

If you contend that no smoke will ever stick to walls, you sir, are the one who is wrong.

Little touchy today?

You misread my post, tell me I'm wrong and when I point that out, I'M the @$$?

LOL.

Yes, it probably is smoke stains.

The answer to why none on the walls is probably they just painted the walls, and not the ceiling. Why not the ceiling too, is the million dollar question.

(Unless, of course, they have that magic smoke that only adheres to ceilings. )

Now THAT was being an @$$.

Lighten up.

Don't you have inspections to do? Oh...wait I forgot. With an attitude like that, no one wants to hire you. Right?

You need to take your meds and chill out dude. Consider yourself lucky that you're not in my area.

I happen to be on a mini-vacation, so don't even ask.

I think someone needs to smoke a peace pipe.

David's like that...................anytime someone questions his answers he starts calling people names........I think he has an inferiority complex and is trying to hide it................or he is simply prideful (bible talks about that too).

Anyway, Rick.......I don't necessarily buy the smoking answer either..........my father smoked for years.....and it stained the walls, curtains, ceiling.....everything.

I think its something it an ingredient in the paint.

regard

Jeff

PS. No need to respond David......I am talking to Rick.
