I feel like the title of this article contradicts with the point that I think you are trying to make, which is "comments when misused contribute to code smell". Correct me if I'm wrong though.
We're probably picking nits here, but my point is that:
Comments, when misused, often indicate a code smell.
The vast majority of comments I ever see are unnecessary, and are frequently used to cover up obtuse code. In other words, most comments are absolutely misused. So most comments === code smell.
If the comment tries to tell me what the code is doing, it's a "code smell". Period.
The title, specifically, is a bit of a follow-on from the article that I wrote just before this one, where I basically said that "code smells" don't exist - and they're often the result of people making snobby judgments on other peoples' code.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
