March 27, 201610 yr Its not the triggers, I'm over smoking, its the smell when five people are smoking around you. Normally one or two people puffing does not bother me, but 4, 5 or 6 people, its like swimming in an ashtray. Ptuuu,yukk, fptthh:(
March 27, 201610 yr The nose knows. I was at a restaurant yesterday that has an outdoor seating section. I was talking to a friend and a guy at the next table was smoking. I caught a whiff and thought: "Damn, what is that guy smoking!" Then I noticed his pack on the table, they were Marlboro Reds. Same brand I smoked. This time last month I was smoking 20 or more of those a-day. Now the smell is a bit overwhelming. The good news is: my olfactory system is more fine tuned than it has been in years. The bad news is: I now understand just how badly I reeked to those around me for all those years.
March 27, 201610 yr I am sure they are all looking at you with secret envy. I know when I smoked, even though I never talked about, or tried to quit, I would secretly envy the quitters. They would make me feel uncomfortable
