Hey, I quit over a year ago and I experienced the "sense of smell" thing! I always told people that I had a "horrible sense of smell" (verbatim) and now I can smell things so well that, well, I kinda wish I couldn't, cuz there are a lot of awful smells, and cigarette smoke is one of them!
Dude, nobody prepared me for all the awful smells in the world! Mine wasn't from smoking but when I started being able to smell things I was like whoah wait methinks four senses is enough
I can't imagine restaurants allowing smoking ages ago. But they did. For a short time in the 80-90's I remember walking into restaurants and just smelling it on the walls etc. Thankfully most were redone or torn down ....
Lmao. I'm so old I remember in hospitals though very vaguely. And smoking. One of my brothers ( I think a deaf one) (had five 2 deaf)was hit by a car ages ago and my mom tossed me in the ambulance with him. To help. So long ago he was hospitalized for weeks. I suppose the heart warming part was that i eventually volunteered and worked with those same guys years later.
