Do you like or dislike the smell of smoke?

[corpusmorte]

I don't mind the smell of smoke at all, fresh or stale. The scent is comforting to me. I have a few friends that still smoke and when I'm around them the smell makes me feel warm.

I'm content with the smell of smoke. I really like the smell of cigar smoke and pipe tobacco. The only smoke smell that I really don't like at all is the residual smell on a smoker's hair and clothes. That bothers me, but the actual smell of smoke does not. Don't know why. The TASTE of analogs is offensive but the smell is something I guess I'm just used to.

I never liked the smell of smoke, even when I smoked. The only time I remember liking it was when I worked at a factory and was trying to quit smoking and could go to the smoking lounge and get enough second hand smoke to satisfy my cravings.

Dislike.

If someone was to light a fire near me i would move away. Same goes for a cigarette.

It smells very different to what i remember...and i only gave up 4 weeks ago.....haaa.

I'm just starting my third week free of traditional cigs, and I caught myself moving away ever so slightly from my friends while they were all smoking last night. I don't actively hate the smell, I guess I just never realized how pungent it was while I was ripping cigs as well.

When I first started smoking in the 70's, cigarettes smelled completely different. I remember when my mother, who had smoked my entire life, and her cigarettes started to smell different. Even before I quit, I could not stand the way my husband smelled after he smoked(and he smoked the same cigarettes I did!). My thought is that over the years, all of the chemical, paper and filter changes changed the smell of cigarettes. I can remember when the waffing smell of a cigarette actually was appealing.

I really don't mind, and kind of like the smell of people smoking cigarettes, especially cloves. What I can't stand, though, is the smell that sticks to peoples' hands and clothes. It's really disgusting.

Smoke smells terrible to me now, and I can smell it a mile away.
And when I'm standing in line, I can always tell if the person next to me smokes or not.

 

[permafrying]

i still love the smell, always have and don't really see it changing but maybe, like the taste to but not as much as my e stogey

I've always liked the smell of tobacco smoke, especially cigars and pipes. I still do, but I'm glad I found a more suitable replacement for them.

I took the ash trays out of my wifes car and my truck never imagined doing that when I smoked, but after a few months I couldnt stand the smell...And now when I clean the inside of the windows of my truck I dont get that brown stuff on paper towel anymore...I dont critize smokers like some people for I know what they are going through....

my mother starting smoking in the 60's and she swears that cigarettes smell different today and also seem to fill the house up with the smell much quicker. i thought she was just being silly, but reading this maybe i should give her more credit : P

as for the smell, it's been about 3 months of vaping for me so far. i don't mind the smell. i don't think it smells great, but it's tolerable. went to a movie the other day with my mom and halfway through she took a smoke break. i went with her and smoked one as well. ( i still have maybe 2-3 cigs a month ) one thing i did notice more strongly than before was just how much the smell clung to my clothes once we got back inside the theater. and it wasn't a good smell. i wasn't all that worried about it myself, but i realized that before the switch to ecigs, that must be what i smelled like to everyone else all the time. i was a little embarrassed.

I guess I'm kind of weird...I have smoked for 30 years and never liked the smell of smoke. When My Mom came to live her time out with me COPD I started smoking outside. She has sinced past but I contuned to smoke outside when we moved and the house smells so much better to me.

 

[Porkie's wifey]

The reason I joined this site was to help my bf and myself know more about this "Ecigarrette." No offense to other smokers out there who like to smoke, etc, I personally don't like...okay...detest...the smell of smoke and even the looks of someone smoking. However, trying to help my bf out who's trying to quit, we decided to go with Smoke Free cigarrettes. I really really hate the smell of the normal cigarrette, but for some reason, Ecigs are not that bad! It's much better than what my bf used to smoke :/

i quit bout 16 months ago smoke smell doesnt bother me

 

[Danesnpits]

When I quit smoking and started vaping 6 months ago, I detested the smell of smoke. I remember sitting in a very smoky bar and the smoke was making me ill.

Now I really like the smell of smoke. Living here in China where about 80% of men smoke, it's hard to avoid it. But I enjoy the smell. I'm not sure why I like it, it just smells good. And I like it when my smoking friends come to my apartment. I say - thank you for smoking.

How do others feel about the smell of smoke now?

I despise them now. What really ...... me off this last couple of weeks is that I had a guy here for 2 weeks renovating my house. He smoked..and of course part of my process to healing and moving on from analogs was to get that awful smell out of here when I started to vape. We washed down walls, laundered curtains, bedding, well everything, painted in here, ripped out carpet, installed laminate, wiped down everything..I couldnt believe how yellow and oily everything was from just 5 years of smoking in this place..the guy had the nerve to smoke in my house, not 1, but 15 packs of smokes in those 2 weeks. I even found cherrys and butts on my new floors after he left! Needless to say, he is not coming back to do anymore. I fired his ....

 

[starrynight]

I cannot stand the smell of smoke now, and I am mortified to think I walked around like that for so many years. The ironic part is I thought by just washing my hands the lingering smoke scent was gone.

 

[simply me]

I've been vaping for over a year now and still love the smell of cigarettes. Think I always will. I do not like the taste, in fact can't stand it.

 

[Sandnor]

I actually caught a surprise the other day. A few people I work with smoke still and the smell of their smokes didn't bother me at all. I still even enjoy the smell of fresh cigarette/cigar/pipe smoke. The surprise came when we went to diner at the casino and I walked past the bar area. I caught a big whiff of stale smoke smell and just about gagged. That surprised the hell out of me. I had never even noticed the smell in the past but now I'd rather smell car exhaust. Odd as all get out.

 

[Tracy68]

I still catch myself thinking "I need to change my top before I go out or else I'll smell like......Oh hang on, that's right I don't smoke anymore!"
Not that that would have done much good anyway. Just unpacked a suitcase after a recent trip away and found a worn bra I'd poked into one of the pockets and it reeked of stale smoke. YUCK! I was horrified to think that even my underwear smelled like smoke!
