Forced advection of passive scalar by a smooth $d$-dimensional incompressiblevelocity in the presence of a linear damping is studied. Acting separatelyadvection and dumping do not lead to an essential intermittency of the steadyscalar statistics, while being mixed together produce a very strongnon-Gaussianity in the convective range: $q$-th (positive) moment of theabsolute value of scalar difference, $<|\theta (t;{\bf r})-\theta (t;0)|^{q}> $is proportional to $r^{\xi_{q}}$, $\xi _{q}=\sqrt{d^{2}/4+\alpha dq/[(d-1)D]}-d/2$, where $\alpha /D$ measures the rate of the damping in the unitsof the stretching rate. Probability density function (PDF) of the scalardifference is also found.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex, Submitted to Phys. Fluid

On how a joint interaction of two innocent partners (smooth advection and linear damping) produces a strong intermittency
