[QUOTE="Star*, post: 452956, member: 4964"] I'm glad you have made a choice NOT to start smoking again. It was my opinion that the first five years were the hardest. The second five were when I started to notice (no offense to any smokers here) that people that smoked had a certain smokers smell. Can't really put a finger on it, it just made me think to myself OMG did I smell like that? I am so sorry, and went around apologizing to everyone I smoked around that complained when I smoked, and said SHUT UP to because I couldn't smell the smell they smelled and complained about. It was NOT just the smoke smell. It was the tar smell maybe? I dunno. But even now? When I'm taking in donations at the GW? I can tell the smokers stuff from the non-smokers stuff like (snap) whether it's clothing or household items. Pretty amazing to me is that DF has quit for a year and he's even more acute to it than I was. It only took him a year to stand next to a woman who is a heavy smoker and have to move because of the smell of her clothes and hair. I was actually surprised. He can't smell anything. (several broken facial bones and nose so many times we can't count) HOWEVER........even after having been quit for I think 11 years maybe 12 -----the past weeks learning to drive again after a six month hiatus in the semi truck? The regular driver that is training me for the route? Has lit up a couple times and I'm sure for his nerves (well it's been six months) and I have to tell you - honestly it smelled good. Now when the boss goes with me? She hasn't lit up in the cab and I don't do near as well - lol....So I'm thinking maybe it's the cigarette smoke ROFLM marlboros off. OR rather HIS .....I even offered to pull over and buy him extra cigarettes as part of my training. AHEM. He said no thanks....the last 1/2 lit one and the one while we dropped and hooked? Plenty. lol. So yeah - I think they calm you. My driving was significantly better AFTER he got done with his smoke. And this is from someone who would gag if I even smelled it three doors down.......outside. I did see the new electronic / vapor exhale cigarette in motion today and MAN was it cool. No lasting effects.......can be smoked indoors......and while I swear I thought it smelled like a cigarette, and it comes in flavors? They swear it was just me. The vapor is just water but it looks like smoke. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. [/QUOTE]
