I always thought I had bad indoor allergies until i moved out of my parents house. They have chain smoked inside with the windows closed for my whole life. Moving out was the best thing I ever did for my health.

I hate cigarettes now, especially since I quit smoking myself(didnt smoke inside though) I don't even know why I started in the first place. I'm dumb I guess?

Grew up in Asia. The less fancy one. Used to go buy my Dad cigarettes from across the street and toss out the filters when I was like 8 lol.

*He's been smoke free for over 22 years. The amount of disinformation from Big tobacco, at least where I grew up, was insane. He is a very educated man and still... Cigarette was a status symbol, symbol of sophistication, when he was growing up.

Dont worry americans if you want to smell smoke 24/7 just come to france or eastern europe.

Living in Norway, it always strikes me how disgusting smoking still is, even outside, when i go to central europe. You get completely unused to the amount of smoke and stink e.g. outside of stores

i’m old enough to remember smoking sections on airplanes. Not to be dramatic but, I felt like I was going to die!

Despite never having touched a cigarette in my life, my mom smokes pretty heavily... Knowing i probably stink to everyone else really sucks ;-;

Since my colleagues have missed the invention of Deodorant and washing themselves I'd beg to differ.

I remember coming home from shows in high school/college and I would have to shower and throw my clothes in the washer. I was so happy when smoking was finally banned in clubs.

Well, now the streets just smell like weed instead.

I still remember when it was okay to smoke inside hospitals. Fun times...
When I quit, it took just a few weeks to recover my sense of smell, and I wish it didn't because my house reeked of acrid smoke for months. Even my clean clothes smelt like unwashed smoked ass, it was sickening.

Born in early 90's. We were still responding "non" to the first question that was asked entering a restaurant.

I was born in the early 80s. Yes I remember a time when so many people smoked and indoor smoking was extremely common.

Even children's places were ok for adults to smoke in. You know on how many arcade bars today they have cup holders bolted onto the machines for people to put their drinks (alcoholic or otherwise)? Back in the 80s and 90s, they had the same thing in many of those arcades... but they were bolted on ashtrays.

My mother in law smokes, so a visit to her house always results in throwing whatever clothes we’ve taken directly into the washing machine when we get home.

Worse though, is that it takes a few days for the smell to leave my CPAP machine. I put a new filter in, but it still somehow lingers.

American casinos fucking reek

A lot of countries still do. Japan has changed a lot in the 15isj years since I first came and even more in the decade I've been living here

I quite a pack a day habit 12 years ago and one of the first things I noticed when my sense of taste and smell returned was how aweful smokers smelled when they'd walk into a building after a cigarette. I had thought the smell was off me within maybe 10 minutes but I found out quick that the smell never really goes away. Feels like a previous life thinking I smoked because I can't see myself ever smoking even a single cig for the rest of my life because it's so revolting to me now. Oddly enough, however, sometimes I'll see someone light up a fresh cig in a movie or something and I'll get this strong 2-3 second craving for a smoke. It's so strange how even over 12 years since my last one, I still get these strange urges for a cig by seeing someone of TV light one up.
