Do you mind.....?

The word 'mind' can be used to mean 'dislike', 'object to', 'be annoyed by' etc.

Examples:
Do you mind(dislike) the noise in my room?
(There is a lot of noice in my room. Do you dislike that?)

More examples:
Do you mind(dislike) the smell of cigarette?
Do you mind my loud speaker?
Do you mind my wayward children?
Do yo mind my untidy room?
Do you mind indiscipline in your office? etc.
Do you mind the increasing number of traffic problems?

I don't mind the smell of cigarette.
I never mind you advice.
Don't mind his absense.
She doesn't mind my comments.
