I would love to get to the point where I can't stand the smell and taste of a cig but thus far I still do.
You might always enjoy cigarette smells.
I honestly miss the smell of smoke on my fingers, and the taste of smoking in general. But it's a bit like not being able to eat a favorite food any more. A little sad, but not a complete disaster. Life is filled with little things like that.
Quitting
nicotine, for me, is complete disaster. instead of not being able to eat a favorite food, it was like not being able to eat food at all.
The other thing, and I think this is what many vapers are trying to say when the say how much tobacco smoke stinks, is that my senses are very different now. I can smell and taste things again, and have found that some scents & tastes that I remember enjoying are now unpleasant to me (and vice versa). Cigarettes are one of those things. I smoked one a couple of months into vaping, and it was
awful. Not at all like I remembered them.
So, I miss the way they were in my memory, but the reality of them now is not like that anymore. If they made a juice that perfectly replicated the taste of a cigarette, I would find it too unpleasant to vape. It's a little bittersweet, it's true.
