The best thing about being able to smell again!

[Soulkeeper13]

This evening I was sitting and watching my guy mowing the lawn (helpful aren't I?), and I smelt the strangest thing.... mint! I have mint in my yard! most of it was, well, mowed, but there's lots left! so this week thats my fav thing about ecigs, the return of my sense of smell!

Soulkeeper13, there are sooooo many things about e-cigs I love, after smoking 47+ years, very little coughing, no weezing, able to take deep breaths, still get a little short of breath but it is getting better, able to stay in a no smoking room, being called a "Air Freshener" by a non smoker with a smile, and being able to vape in her house and in her car. Flying and going thru an airport and going into the bathroom at airport to vape (in private) In short it is wonderful and I also like buying all the different types of e-cigs and juices, my new hobby.

There are soooo many good things that come with vaping. We have a whole thread with over 300 posts of all the "good" things that come with these.

Sorry JC, I prolly should've searched first but I had a hyper moment......hmm, those seem to happen more often these days.

I did not realize how much cigs stunted my sense of smell.. until it came back, of course

Walking by a restaurant and smelling fresh-baked bread..
Perfume on women when they walk by..

I was just really surprised at the difference. Before vaping, I must've smelt like cigarettes from a mile away to non-smokers

Welcome to ECF! I think this post is great. It is cool how the benefits of quitting smoking and/or vaping will hit us when we least expect it, and your experience with the mint in your yard is a perfect illustration!

Thanks for sharing.

I smell the folks coming in from their break at work and it gags me. I can't believe that's how I smelled to others for 25 years. I think about what strangers must have thought of me...job interviews, various meetings, fellow employees.

Now I just feel bad for people when I see a cigarette in their hands. I want to scream at them and tell them that they can have everything they enjoy about cigarettes WITHOUT all the bad crap that comes with it. But, I hold it in...unless they see my e cig and ask. Then all bets are off.

Not to foul the air in this thread, (heh), but I've got to mention what I've found to be the worst thing about being able to smell again: Discovering that cigarette smoke actually smells really, really bad! And, unfortunately, I still have to live with that stench on a daily basis, as I've been unable to get my 2-pack-a-day smoking wife to make the e-cig switch.

I don't want to come off as one of those ex-smokers, so I don't give her too much of a hard time about the smell. And I'm trying really hard to not pester her incessantly about giving up the analogs. But, I really would like to get her to stop dipping her toe in the vaping waters, and just take the plunge/make the switch.

But I digress...
