Smoking is absolutely vile and I would ban it forever! (former smoker who not hates their stinky smoker friends)

The smell of it is awful, and you don’t realize it until you no longer smoke. Smokers don’t smell the smoke because they’re used to it. But that shit gets in EVERYTHING. Clothes, furniture etc.

My mom used to smoke (she quit finally thankfully) and I never knew how bad the smell was until I went away for college. Then when I’d come back to visit, I’d smell the stench in a way I never did before when I was around mom daily pre-college.

it stains the walls and windows too. my dad smoked in the house and my mother had to clean the very walls.

Omg I’ve seen those videos where people come in and clean houses and I’ve seen walls OOZING yellow from nicotine 🤢

My parents quit 4 years ago and smoked outside for 3 years before that and it's still all I smell in the house to the point it gives me a headache. 30+ years smoking indoors, I think tearing it down to the studs is about the only thing that would get rid of it.

We rent in a 60’s era complex and we still have nicotine bleeding out through the walls if it gets too humid.

is it weird I kinda like the smell of cigarette smoke...or not like in the way that I'd huff it (that's gasoline for me) but it doesn't bother me, make me queasy or other things I've heard from people not used to it. my mom smoked while she was pregnant with me and then proceeded to smoke my entire childhood and young adulthood so maybe that has smth to do with it

When I was house hunting, every time I smelled smoke I immediately wrote off the house simply because it's such a frigging nightmare to get out of a house. It gets in the damn walls and it does not fade with time. It's a major clean job

They banned it in public venues here in my early 20s, so I'm just old enough to remember being in night clubs etc when people could still smoke indoors. We would literally go to the pub for half an hour and I'd come back with my hair and clothes reeking of it.

My mom smoked even when I was in her tummy and I never got used to the smell. It was a whole ass disgusting smell and awful headaches every day for 30 years of my life until she was forced to stop cause of COPD
