My GF still smokes and I wish I could say that it doesn't bother me when we kiss, but it does. I can taste and smell the smoke now. I dunno what happen, but after I quit I became hypersensitive to cig smoke and hate the smell. I'm not trying to be a hypocrite because I used to smoke 2 packs a day and sometimes would chain smoke when I got stressed out. She would even call me a offensive smoker during those times lol.... She is working hard on quitting though. I know she really wants to. It took me a good year to finally quit. I think my mom having cancer made me all that more determined to quit.
That's not being a hypocrite, it's perfectly normal - once we quit, the body's physiology changes... including our tastebuds and olfactory sensitivities.
I find it a tad irritating that former smokers are judged to be 'hypocrites' as our senses change, and we can no longer stomach the odors, smells, tastes, and other nasty things we used to accept as normal - i mean, what else do people think is gonna happen??
it's one of the reasons WHY we quit! 
Now if we were complainers while still smoking, well THEN we'd be hypocrites - but once we stop, it's perfectly valid that what we used to find acceptable, is now nasty. That's just the normal progression of our bodies returning to having healthy senses.I can't take the stench anymore either, it makes me gag now... I don't complain about it out loud or lecture anyone, that's their choice and their business. But i do now avoid being around it as much as possible, and wouldn't now start dating, or kissing, a smoker... as that's my choice to make. Fortunately the choice for me is a bit easier to make, as I'm not married, so don't have to deal with figuring out how to balance daily living with someone who still smokes.

I remember taking a drag on a smoke and then blowing it into a partner's mouth and vice versa. It was something intimate to do which didn't cause pregnancy and we seemed to like it at the time. I was probably only about 15 though and probably shouldn't have been smoking anyway.
Actually now that I think about it, it may not even have been tobacco smoke.

The sad truth for me is that 2 years after having my last cigarette, I still like the smell of them. I don't like the lingering "after smoke" smell on people, but when I smell smoke, I still like it. At one time during my "million quit" tries, I did manage to quit for 2 full years. A bad event caused me to walk up to the very first smoker I saw and bum one. And even after two years, I enjoyed it. Because of this, I'm so glad I enjoy vaping so much. I know myself well enough to know that if I had one now, there's a good chance I'd like it and I'd want another. So, I just won't EVER let myself have one. vaping keeps me very happy and for that I'm grateful.
Me too! If someone's standing next an entrance to [ex. Store] and some off the smoke wafts by me, i'm like "Mmm". Also, as a child I also loved the smell of a freshly opened pack of smokes. Smelled like raisins to me. Today, as an analog analogue, lol, I often try to DIY replicate that flavor, instead of the lit flavor.
I know there are people who after quiting find the smell of a lit analog repulsive. I honestly wish I was one of them. I'm not. In fact, when I smoked my very first cigarette as a teenager, I liked it. I inhaled, didn't cough and blew out smoke. It made me slightly high and I found the sensation, well.......sensational. I was hooked immediately. I guess I was a natural born "smoker." So, I can't ever have one again. I know what you mean about the smell of a just opened pack. Whenever I opened a new pack, I sniffed the fresh tobacco aroma and looked forward to the first smoke from that pack. Maybe this is why I still only vape tobacco type liquids. I make a mixture of a tobacco and menthol juice 50/50 which I buy from my local vape shop, who makes all their liquids in-house. It keeps me very happy and safely away from cancer sticks.
??? Don't you mean as a Vaper you wouldn't want to kiss a smoker???
Hubby and I have been together 32 years. He quit smoking about 13 years ago, I quit about 10 1/2 months ago. I started smoking outdoors when he quit the cigs, it just didn't seem right to smoke around him once he quit. I thought I didn't smell like smoke once I started smoking exclusively outdoors but I found out how wrong I was when I quit cigs. I can now instantly tell if a smoker walks past me, even outside. I'm sure that he could smell and taste it on me but he never nagged me about it, he's sweet like that.
