If you dont have any of those, a tazor works fine because it will make the smoker spaz out and that gives you time to shoot it.

Or you should otherwise shoot it from long range before it can get in range to strangle you. What about alone? 'I will try my best to respect you all, even if I may really get annoyed with everyone else answering in my Q&A. XD'

Although it's helpful, I just have that irritating feeling toward those who answer.

Anyway.

Yep, those weapons listed above - Raombo knife, katana, or chainsaw.

If you have none of the above, do what they say - get out of their grabbing/strangling range, and if you can, do the following steps:

1.) Once you're getting strangled, press and hold backspace for at least 2-3 seconds. Do not use this tactic if your health is below 20 HP.

2.) You will have the ability to stand up by doing this. You will disarm your weapon once you press backspace.

3.) After that, you should arm it again, giving you the chance to shoot the smoker while he's "smoking" you.

Not useful in hordes because smokers will repetitively grab you again and again until this technique will end in you having small health. Better arm a pipebomb and healing items (cake will do, but you should bring medkit/pills in case this happens).
