I know I smelled. When I use to go out for a smoke break whoever was in the elevator would make a comment. I actually don't mind the smell when someone is smoking cigs and love the smell of cigars. The last thing I want to turn into is one of those ppl who make faces and wave their hands.

I can tell if a smoker has been in the elevator in the last half-hour now. I'll never say a thing, though, because I was one of them for 40+ years. It was quite a revelation.

I used to wash my hands and chew gum or take a breath mint after I smoked (always outside, trying to stay away from the smoke and keep it away from my clothes). I actually thought that I didn't smell of smoke (I was dead wrong). Now I can totally detect a smoker from the smell. I'm embarrassed that I used to reek like that too.

:vapor:Here Here. I was in a car once and every time I leaned forward to say something, the young woman teacher in the front pulled up her jumper over her nose. At the time I thought somewhat angrily 'this is the height of rudeness' but now looking back I can forgive her, although at the time it made me feel like a bit of a leper. I stopped talking very much or didn't lean forward. Dazzer.:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:

The only smoking area inside my house is the bathroom. I didn't really notice any smell when I used to smoke. My wife still smokes and now I can't stand the smell of my own bathroom. It's not only the bathroom but the towels smell too and I'm not comfortable using them but my wife keeps arguing that it never bothered me before so why is it bothering me now? I wish there was a way for smokers to actually smell the stench of smoke so they will understand and later on be more considerate.


That reminds me of something REALLY hozzie. But I write it with a smile. Forgive me if it's bad taste (or smell). My Dad used to smoke and read a book while he sat on the toilet (working out :confused:)he he. After 30 mins it was BAD. If me or my brothers went in there we had to beat a hasty retreat. Bless my Dad though, he's great, it was before Vaping was available. Dazzer :facepalm:

In a heartbeat. I live out in the desert and it was really dark that night that I was walking the dog. I smelled cigarette smoke and a good 3 minutes later a person came along. That was early on and it surprised me.

I can taste, smell, have more windage and don't stink. I am grateful.
Fantastic, are you a biker too? My Dad was an English biker when he was younger.I'd love to live like that in the desert. Power to you. Dazzer.

A guy i worked with stank of it, worse than anyone i ever smelled. His hands were greasy with it. You knew where he was because the phone receiver would reek, or the keyboard terminal. The next worst is the people who huff up there cig before they walk in, put out the cherry, and hold a half smoked cig in their hand while im dealing with them, makes me want to vomit.
I actually did throw up once when a customer that came in had the worst halitosis in history, the odor of rotted flesh being hurled at me when he spoke was overwhelming. Its amazing to me how many people in this area have no idea what a toothbrush is.
Cod breath from the tomb :vapor:.

I once sold a pair of headphones (funny saying it's a pair but it's only one,.... anyway) Sold them on ebay. When the buyer got them he sent me a nasty email telling me how bad they smelled of smoke. I had never gave a thought to all the stuff I sold on ebay as I smoked in my house and probably it all smelled really bad when the people received the items. Lucky me as I got no bad feedbacks at least. :oops:

There are quite a few of my liquids that stink which all depends on the person smelling. Honey liquids are great and tasting good yet putting out a stale pee smell. My wife and kids hate the honey liquids I make. The 555s they hate the smell of too. So yes I guess I still stink.

I was walking in the office the morning. Some dude lit up a smoke as he was leaving the building. I acted like I was fumbling through my briefcase. That smoked smelled delicious. Almost 3 years and I love the smell of a freshly lit cig. Amazing thing is that while I love that smell, I do not have an urge to smoke.

Unfortunately I am super sensitive to the smell of smoke suddenly. My co-worker came and sat next to me while he was smoking and I had to jump up and get some distance from him. For the rest of the day I felt like I could smell the smoke on me here and there. Smelling smokers is a huge motivator to continue not smoking...

Anyone gone on vacation, opened your suitcase and realized your stuff still smells like smoke?
I guess it's true that you never really get it out of your house.

I had a friend that wouldn't even smoke on her own patio if the neighbors had there windows open. It surprised me that she even smoked since she was that aware of it.

I probably stink when vaping Cosmic Fog Gummy Cola. This is by far the nastiest juice I've had yet. There's probably a reason I haven't tried it before now. Anyway, that's for a different thread topic.

I can definitely smell cigarette smoke on smokers when walking past them in public. I'm only thinking "Damn you smell like sht" LOL.

You know, it's weird. I notice when someone has had a smoke, mostly my brother, they reek when they come inside after. My girlfriend however says she notices that smell on everyone who smokes but says I actually never carried that odor with me. I dunno. Maybe I was special.
But yeah... they stink to high hell afterwards.
I still like the smell of the actual smoke though. It's still kinda hard to be around because the smell is still so tempting. But turns out I like the smell of my new Peanut Butter Cup juice better. :p

Funny a co-worker told me the same thing.

He said that "John" really stinks of cigarette smoke but he never really smelled it on me. Go figure.
