In reply to the discussion: Any ex-smokers miss smoking? [View all]3catwoman3
(23,971 posts)35. This is a very interesting thread.
I am a never-smoker. My mom smoked when I was little, and I hated the smell. Still do. Never tried one; never even touched one. Never dated a smoker.
It surprises me how penetrating the smell is. If I am stopped at a traffic light and the first car in line is 5 cars ahead, windows open and the driver is smoking, the smell is still powerful enough and noxious enough to make me want to gag. Some pipe tobaccos have a pleasant aroma, but regular cigarettes -
Congratulations to all the former smokers here!

Nope. It's been something like 20 years or so. It never even crosses my mind anymore.
