The Stench is killing me ...

[QusieQ]

Now that I have been analog free for a lil over two months, I cannot believe how sensitive I am to the smell of analogs, it makes me sick to my stomach. If someone walks by I can instantly tell if they are a smoker.

I was oblivious to how bad I smelled when I smoked. Will the urge to puke when I am around smokers go away? I feel so rude when I have to put my hand to my nose to stop from gagging. I had to leave a store today because a smoker was standing next to me in the ckout line, and I was turning green.

The worst part .... I have a group of friends I meet with every wknd for football and they smoke in the house. There has to be 5-8 smokers there at a time. I hate going over there (even though I love my friends dearly) because my coat, my clothes, and my hair stinks! I was with them Friday for 1 1/2 hours, when I got home even my bra smelled like cigarette smoke. I don't dare complain, they are my buddies; but damn I really do get ill from the smell.

Yeah, smokers stink for sure. I guess you could plug your nose with something when they come over.

You never know how bad it is until you quit.

How about try to convert your friends to ecig? Show them how good the ecigs are. Take a few good juices next weekend and have them to try.

I have, but I don't push it.
Smokers have to make that decision on their own. They have all tried it. Even one of these friends borrowed my spare e-cig while in the hospital for a week, and went back to smoking

Yeah you can't force the issue... But at least you tried, Maybe talking about it and seeing if they would smoke outside might help.. When I smoked I never did it in the house or my car for that matter.. Hope it works out.

I have a better understanding now, just what my wife of 43 years actually tolerated. JMHO

That definitely sucks. When I started vaping I had 2 roommates that both smoked and in the house. Couldn't stand it. Wasn't fair that I had to smell like them when I wasn't smoking. Thankfully I no longer live with them.

 

[QusieQ]

It is their home, I would never suggest they go outside.

If you want to hang out all you can do is tolerate and maybe keep that one set of clothes for when you go over there -- if they don't mind seeing you in the same outfit every week! Otherwise your whole closet might keep reeking even after you wash.

And hopefully when they see how much more alive you look from not smoking they will eventually cross over from the Dark Side!!

I had to give up self-tanner -- it smelled like analog butts on my skin until it all washed off. The smell was driving me crazy until I figured out what was causing it. I never noticed it when I was smoking!!

I can relate. Had to take all my jackets and coats to the dry cleaner and it's tough to be in the car or home of a smoker. I really can't believe I used to put people (non-smokers) through all that.

I hate the smell of a smoker, but I love the smell of a cigarette as it's being burned.

I never knew how bad I smelt till I quit. I have pulled out a jacket and it smelled bad. Took two washes to get the smell out.

RIGHT?!?! When I was a PackADay smoker, never minded it a bit, but after being analog free for 7 odd months, I can tell if a smoker was on a street corner within the last 25 minutes. And I can't handle the smell at all. After my first week analog-free, I had a couple days where I begrudgingly bought a pack to last me until my refill cartos came, and I couldn't get through two drags, they burned and tasted so terrible. can you believe we used to be the ones that smelled like that? Makes me wonder what people thought when I 'd come in after 20 minutes chain smoking in my car. Ew.

Agreed! I'm trying to figure out how to wash my purse without destroying it. My car is starting to smell better, but it definately needs a cleaning, and a gallon of air freshener.

You can clean your purse with Fabreze,just spray it on and wipe it.I used to have to do it to everything my coat etc.It also works in the car too.

Thanks!! I'll have to mosey up to the store and get some!

Just from cutting way back on analogs I'm getting to the point where they stink! Not to mention my juice tastes better. Even after a day or 2 analog free I've noticed if someone lights up near me I can smell it.

Ok well your my neighbor to the north a little.. Come down here and watch the games.. LOL.. I don't think I know any Indiana fans UK & U of L down here.. lol

I couldn't believe how offensive the smell of smoking/smokers is. I think I've apologized to everyone I know for having exposed them to that stench when I was smoking. I've also thanked them for putting up with me.
