I smoked at least a pack a day for 25 years..... finally managing to break my dependency in the late 90's.
TO THIS DAY.... I find that when someone standing close by lights up a Marlboro Red or a Camel (filtered).... the initial smoke that floats into the surrounding air is INTOXICATING.
And.... Standing in line at a 7-11 and watching as people in front of me buy cigs..... makes me glad I quit. They are REALLY EXPENSIVE now..... (I may be dating myself.... but I remember when they were 10 cents a pack when I was in the military).

@Threepio My best friend smoked throughout his teenage years and through most of his adult life, only quitting about ten years ago. Dude absolutely hates people smoking around him. Now that he no longer smells like a cigarette all the time, he realizes how they smell.

Yes, regardless of whether it's tobacco cigarettes, pot, or vaping. The smell stinks and smokers as a group tend to be some of the worst litterers, like they somehow don't see cigarette butts as trash. With some smokers their addiction also manifests entitlement / narcissism / victimhood in other ways too, in terms of when, where and around whom they can smoke for example.
The only things I've ever found to be a pleasant smell are quality cigars (not Swisher), pipe tobacco and clove cigarettes, but at the end of the day there isn't any kind of smoke that is safe to be inhaling even secondhand from a distance, not even incense. Smoke is smoke is smoke.
If I had a legit medical reason for weed, I'd ingest it with food, not smoke it.

Tobacco smoke does. I don't judge those who do smoke (unless they're being inconsiderate about it), but I hate the smell.
SpudMuffin · 61-69, M
Only when it's in my face, but I find most smokers are more considerate than they used to be. I just wish they would give it up for their own benefit.
IPmyPants · 41-45, M
Worked at a company where my back office was the only place co-workers could smoke, and i am a non-smoker. I hate the smell of cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
I still romanticize it, but I don't like smoking anymore unless I'm really drunk. I enjoy snus much more, no bad aftertaste and not nearly as anxiety inducing since it has 0 links to cancer.
IamBack · 31-35, M
So very much!
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
It doesn't really bug me at all. I have a few friend's that smoke
nedkelly · 61-69, M
None of my business, but I cannot stand cigarette smell due to having asthma
smiler2012 · 61-69
@nedkelly 🤔sorry ned you have asthma not a very good combination for you
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@smiler2012 but I still love cigars but rarely I smoke them
bijouxbroussard · F
Yes. I can’t do it or be around it anymore. Regardless of the substance.
No. I smoke weed. It's gross when people smell like they've bathed in cigarette ash though.

@LordShadowfire Cannabis smoke (especially Skunk strain, popular here) stinks every bit as much as tobacco. I can’t imagine the appeal. The high is available in edibles.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard I definitely feel like that's more of a matter of opinion than tobacco smoke. I know people to whom it smells heavenly. I know people who think it's horrible.
Also, I no longer smoke, because I've already got a chronic cough going on, and I don't want that to turn into something.

@LordShadowfire it's different, though I have been around some people that smell awful like weed smoke. I definitely smoke in a well ventilated area lol

I've never been a smoker but I love the smell of burning tobacco
Adrift · 61-69, F
@robingoodfellow pipe tobacco reminds me of my grandfather.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Absolutely. It also terrifies me, because I'm just imagining that person dealing with the nightmare that is lung cancer.

I truly dont understand the appeal

I smoke weed.... cigarettes however seem to embed a stale order in clothes....that usually the cig smoke...er....is unaware of. 😣
I smoke - and I'm not about to be a hypocrite... even if I don't like the smell of weed.
TweekeeKeekee · 26-30, F
Sometimes... but I keep lighting another anyway lol
Sometimes a fresh lit cigarette is like a freshly brewed pot of Foldgers in the morning, disgusting! Now a clove cigarette and freshly brewed Sumatran coffee is a different thing!
YoMomma · 41-45
Not exactly but i tend to avoid it
Matt85 · 36-40, M
sometimes like when im thinking about smoking a real cig (i vape)
@Matt85 They're saying that vaping is worse for your body than smoking a real cigarette would be... It confuses me trying to work out which way to turn at times...
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@HootyTheNightOwl honestly.. i reckon its fine in moderation. some people are sucking on them all the time but if people just pace theirselves it's still gotta be better than smoking.
@Matt85 It'd be interesting to know what the vaping habits of those people partaking in the studies are - I mean, if I'm smoking 200 cigarettes a week, I'm going to be in much worse shape than someone who only smokes 100 in the same week.
All the media seems to say is "Vaping bad"... so is McDonalds - but there's more McDonalds than there are zits on a teenager's face.

Depends. Pipe, good cigars, waterpipe usually not. Low quality cigarettes or chronic smokers smelling of stale tobacco very much so.
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
Do I really need to answer this lol
FloorGenAdm · 51-55, M
Dad, granpa, and grandma smoked...got me hooked then quit and called me the bad guy.
Adrift · 61-69, F

Elessar · 26-30, M
Smoking cigarettes yeah, smoking meat, cheese or salmon is fine
InstructHer · 61-69, M
One cigarette or cigar can look sexy and cool, but someone who reeks of stale smoke is disgusting.
No, that's silly.
