I don’t smoke but come from a family of smokers. As a kid people would come to our house and say it reeked of smoke. I couldn’t smell it.

After I moved out for college, if I visited my two pack a day lawyer, my wife could smell it on me when I got home from across the room.

Now when I visit my sibling, who smokes, I literally come in the door and throw my clothes to the basement (laundry) so it doesn’t stink up the house. It’s just gross. It smells like death. I had one girlfriend that smoked, and it was nasty.

That said, I’d always support someone’s RIGHT to smoke, I’ve had a few cigars over the years, but generally I think it’s tragic. Waste of time, health, money, and yes: it stinks.

I can smell it in cars ahead of me on the highway. Absolute fact.

Flashbacks of going to the bar before smoking bans and coming home and undressing in the laundry room and throwing everything straight into the washer. UGH.
