I totally understand smelling everything all the time. My poor partner, I put her
through 10+ years of being a smoker, with her being a non-smoker. She was always great though, and only bi%$hed once in awhile.
When I attempting to quit without the help of an e-cig, I managed to do it for almost a year and then something happened and of course I started again.
She is actually the person who first told me about the e-cig and allowed me to go out and get one and then another and then another.
As for the smell, we have a ferret rescue and some very sick ferrets and all of a sudden I can smell them, their poo, their litter boxes, their musky odor, their etc...And somedays (depends on humidity actually) they smell so bad that I almost can't stand it.
Then we also have 2 dogs (that are either full poodle or part poodle) and they sometimes get pooo stuck to their rear ends and I just about barf...alot of the time. Which is interesting, because I used to work as a nurse in veterinary clinic..cleaning animals and kennels was part of job, along with surgery and very stinky dieing animals with their wounds, nacrotic and otherwise. And now that I can smell, I can't even handle some poooo.
On one hand it's good cause I can tell when someone needs a .... haircut.
But really?, I have to be able to handle all those smells, since that's what I want to do when I grow up. It's going to be awful, if I can't manage smells when I go back to working in the veterinarian field, next year.
HELP ME? maybe wear vicks like coroners do? I just don't know right now.
I have been not smoking for about 8 months or so.
