Analogs smell sooo bad

[NoMoreMarbs]

I had to go get my books today for the spring semester and had to walk by a couple folks who were smoking reg cigs. Good lord if they only knew. I wanted to hand them business cards or something but didn't want to piss anyone off. It is hard for me to remember that I was there too and I hated people telling me how bad I smelled. It is truly amazing how your brain can actually get used to those things smelling that bad to the point that u don't smell them at all. Have any of you handed out cards or said anything to smokers ? I just wish e1 that smokes would try our way at least for a couple of days.

The "Other factor" with smoking is that, in many cases, we grew up with it. vaping is like moving into a non-smoking household. After a while, you get to "new-normal".

Totally relate. My GF still smokes. I don't say anything except if it gets too nasty in the car or something. But I understand.

I find myself playing "That's a smoker" in the store or whatever when people walk by. Never noticed it when I smoked. lol. Remember to have compassion since we were there once too!

Yeah they do smell bad (I mean really bad) now... but I'm not going to one of holier than thou ex-smokers and give people crap about it. I actually got my neighbor interested in trying an e-cig and drove to the shop with him - he smoked on the way - aww man it reeked bad, and I actually had to change clothes when I got home because the odor just clung to me. Crazy how it never used to bother me.

Yah know, I dislike the smell of cigs, but after my lil city banded smoking in the bars, I always miss "that" smell when I walk in. I don't drink so I don't go to often. Still miss it though.

I always think that our brains have a tendency to play tricks on us with our taste buds and sense of smell. I always liked the smell of pipe tobacco when I was a kid I thought it was a great smell. Cheap cigars .. ughhh that was bad. That is what reg analogs remind me of now is the smell of a cheap cigar. Good cigars on the other hand that smell is darn good.

After two weeks without an analog, I'm noticing that lots of things smell bad, not just cigarettes and smokers. I'm realizing just how bad my sense of smell was when I was smoking. I haven't seriously considered saying anything to smokers, but I have considered suggesting to people that they consider a shower. LOL

I was chilling with a friend the other day. He smokes the mini cigars. The kind the look like cigarettes. I walked outside with him and I was next to him talking when he lit up. I walked 10ft to the other side of the deck.
