When I get a whiff it smells like a chemical cocktail to me....worse though on people, smells like stale chemicals.

 

Our poor families put up with that, bet it used to turn their stomach.

Theres a lady at work I have to work with and every time she comes in from a break it smells like she locked herself in a closet with no ventilation and smoked a pack.  It's so awful and strong.

I know the feeling, you can smell it anywhere.  Ever go to the store and walk down the isle and smell it on the person coming down the isle in the opposite direction or in the car in front of you when you are driving.  Just think of it as reassurance that you will never go back to smelling like that.

We had company yesterday.

 

I didn't know what the smell was but it smelled like some aromatic pipe tobacco.

 

Or something. I went upstairs and I asked the room full of women if someone was smoking a pipe or a cigar..and it hit me it was the Scentsy... DW was cooking up some Scentsy flavour. it was embarrasing b/c I just knew someone was smoking and we don't allow smoking in the house. So, I retreated, back to the man cave, where things are not so...confusing.

 

It's amazing what I can pick up, tobbaco smoke from a car next to me that has a window rolled up, cigarette smoke when nobody is there...the residual smell of...death.

I notice the same thing, I can smell someone smoking a cigarette many hundreds of feet away.

Lots of my co workers smoke. I am just stunned when young girls who clearly pay such attention to their appearance and their grooming, seem to 'miss' that they smell like an ashtray...

 

The power of an addiction...

and when they talk to you with that awful breath, try and throw a mint in their mouth without them noticing

 

lol good one

 

I worked with a man who smoked clove cigarettes. They permeated his skin, his clothes, and he even had a color about him that was like a clove. I remember him as "Clove Man".

 

We had to work together sometimes and review engineering drawings for quality/sanity. And he was one of those "face talkers" you know the ones who don't recognize personal space? How do you tell someone you want to barf on them...isn't the gag reflex enough? Not trying to be funny or mean, I have a strong stomach but this was unbearable.

 

One of those urinal cakes would have worked for this guy,

Ugh, I hate that smell! My entire family smokes and it's hard when I go visit because they all smoke in the house. I don't want to smoke... this is not a "trigger" for me anymore. I just absolutely despise the smell, especially when they light up while I'm eating. GROSS. 

 

I feel for you. :(

The smoke used to make my wife sick. I didn't care. Well ok, I DID care, but not enough to quit :(

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
