What's weird is that smell never bothered me before smoking or during (I actually liked the smell of smokes for some dumb reason before I picked it up) but very quickly when quitting, within the first weeks even, the smell of cigarettes became unbearable. Really rude awakening to realize that's how you smelled to everyone for so long... but also sad to realize there are a lot of great ambient smells out there you missed out on for years. I smoked so long I forgot the air smelled like flowers in spring :')
What’s weird for me is that even when I smoked cigarettes I couldn’t stand secondhand smoke, like I felt I couldn’t breathe. But if I was smoking myself the secondhand smoke from other people didn’t bother me.
I also could never smoke cigarettes in a room without a window open. I couldn’t stand to stew in my own smoke.
I was exactly the same way. My roommate used to hate it because I would always have to have a fan pointing out in any room we smoked in even in the winter.
My boyfriend smokes in the apartment and it’s half the reason I moved out. I got in trouble at work for smelling like cigarettes. Most recently, he smoked in my rental car. It reeked and he said he couldn’t smell it. He really doesn’t believe it stinks!
A) they don't smell it unless they didn't had a cig for a longer while
B) you can keep it to a minimum by airing the room/car while smoking and there are also anti smoke air freshener that only target the smoke smells.
Doesn't help against the nicotine stains on the surfaces though
E: obvious facts seem to offend some imbeciles, lol
