I feel the same way. ive always hid the fact I smoked from my family. I wonder if they actually knew I did since I smelled like that without realizing it
Wow! Can't believe I smelled like that!

My favorite is when people tell you they have quit and you can still smell it on them. They have no clue they're busted.
The smell and lingering smoke attached to clothes triggers my asthma. That is the only grip I have... well it does smell but I keep that to myself. We have friends that still smoke. And I ask for them to leave their jacket in the back entrance to my house politely. That cuts down the the smell/ effects it has on me. Oh and sometimes I cough when I smell smoke... but I can't help it I am not trying to be rude... 
My husband commented once "how rude, don't do that" And I said "do what" because I didn't even notice what I had done. But that is just me. I never fake cough. I feel bad that smokers are still trapped in their hobbit/ addiction. Nothing about it is pleasant. And I don't know one smoker who doesn't want to quit but "loves" the addiction too much. I never want to make them feel worse. I loathed myself as a smoker. I knew that I stunck to high heavens. But a sought out a change. And luckily found vaping and educated myself. For me it was getting to that life or death point tho. I really feared that one of those nights I wouldn't wake up not being able to breath. I would just never wake up again. Unfortunately some will never get over their addiction. And too me being a smoker was a living hell. I let them try mine. My friends not strangers. But I never make them feel bad for being a smoker. Just being one is bad enough.

This is what keeps me from ever wanting to go back to smokes. It's the dang smell. EWWW.
I picked up one of my books the other day, and was leafing thru it, and it reeked! Poor book - (I'm
a huge reader, and my books are treasures to me).
Anyone know how to rid books of the stale smell? Makes me want to cry. Seriously.

Oh man!! I didn't think about this one. I switched to ebooks about the same time I took my smoking outside. lol
Maybe if you vape on them a lot it will make the cig smell go away eventually??
Sometimes my bubblegum flavor stays in my clothes. Haven't heard any complaints about that tho.
Vapor consists of water droplets. After it cools, i sinks down. Smoke from cigs, or cooking odors have particulates, which cling to everything, therefore the odor remains.
Try getting some "smokers candles", and burn them around the books for a while. You can also use Ozium, but don't spray your books directly, of course. Stand a few feet away, and spray toward them, but not close enough to wet any pages.

I have a coworker who thinks that the people she dates can't tell that she smokes, because she does the toothbrush/gum/perfume thing. I don't have the heart to tell her that it is definitely not enough to hide it.
Thanks for the tip, I will try both if I have to. I hate the thought of them reeking, and can't really afford to replace
them all. Specially my trade books, some of them were well over $200 a piece.
Believe me, I know about the cost of trade books. I have some that are no longer in print, and impossible to replace.

For the books, u could also try getting some of that baking soda carpet cleaner and put some of it in a plastic container then put the book in and put a lid on it for a few days. If that doesn't work I would suggest taking them outside in the spring and trying to air them out. Good luck!

I really noticed it this week as well since this was my first week analog free. I still can't believe how bad it smells. I don't tell the guys I work with but it makes me more committed to vaping
It took Ozium to get rid of the smell in my car. I had to spray three times, but it worked.
Yeah, part of it was the effect smoking has on your sense of smell, part of it is your tolerance to the smoke.
Now that I have been analog free for six months, I can smell everything. It is truly gratifying the way foods taste different, too. Sharper, bolder, especially the acid flavors. I have recently started trying everything I thought I did not like (except Broccoli, my mortal enemy). I found out I like squash and asparagus last week. That is pretty cool, especially since I am now over 40 and need all the healthy veggies I can find.

My aunt is one of those kinds of people. She quit when I was a kid, but I remember when she smoked, and she smoked probably for about as long as I did! One time when I was off by myself smoking outdoors she walked over to me and said, "Putting another nail in the coffin, are we?" I just smirked and said, "Yep" while thinking about what a nosy hypocrite she was.
I don't see the point in being rude to people. They know it's bad for them. They know they smell. On some level they care about it. The addiction prevents them from making positive changes to their situation until they're ready to overcome it. Making comments is only going to make them feel bad or angry.
One time when I was about 13ish, my mom got in my face to tell me she loved me. Her breath reeked so bad, and without even thinking I blurted out, "Your breath smells like death! Get out of my face." LOL she slapped me so hard that my head practically spun around. I learned then not to be rude to smokers no matter how much they stink.
Just how much taller is your bride?
Kiddin'... ya have lotsa company as to your observation. I owe soooo many folk an apology for my past 'bakky emanations!
