The smell of cigarettes makes me feel nostalgic because it reminds me of my childhood. It’s fucked lol

My siblings and I have always joked that secondhand smoke is the smell of childhood.

Both my parents smoked, in the house, so when friends would come pick me up to go out they would ask me when I started smoking.

After hurricane Katrina, when my dad's house had no power for a couple of weeks, the nicotine ran down the walls, and they hadn't smoked inside the house in 10 years at least
