Didn't Realize How Bad I Smelled.

I'm on the bus on the way to work after not smoking for 9 days - YES! 9 days! lol Two guys get on the bus and OMG, they reeked. I didn't realize how awful the smell was on people until I quit. It almost was bad enough to make me ill. It's also in my apartment and furniture. I'm glad I'm moving to a smoke free house in 11 days because I can't stand it anymore. I don't want to become one of "those" people but I might already be one!

Yes, I can smell smokers very easily now. Its funny that when I smoked I didnt think I smelled.

What you can smell once you start with the ecigs is pretty amazing. I found one draw back of sorts. I'm very allergic to perfumes, colognes, scented... anything, and now I can smell them so much better. Lol!

You're doing good, Suzi. Keep it up! But if you feel the need for an analog every once in a while, don't beat yourself up over it, just get back to vaping when ready.

I can't stand cigarette smoke either now. I'p made the full switch a couple weeks ago. I rented a carpet cleaner and then washed everything in my place that could be put in the washer. They always say, the worst non-smoker is an ex-smoker. I avoid tobacco smoke as much as I can...,cigar smoke is the worst for me..,.I actually turn green if I breath it for too long...that's how sick it makes me.

I knew I smelled, but did not realize how bad until I quit. lol

I am grossed out by stale smoke smell but sometimes burnig tobacco still smells mighty good to me.I cleaned my house real good as well.

like Mcquinn.....hate the smell of old smoke and reek, but I really do like the smell of a freshly lit cigarette. doen't make me want one, just like the smell....then again, I like the smell of gasoline fumes too.....might explain the brain damage !

OMG yes! The smell is horrible!

I am an EMT with the ambulance service in my county, and now, when I get in the back with a patient who smokes, or have to go into a house where a patient smokes, it literally makes me nauseous!

It's just this awful putrid smell that actually burns my nose, I am appalled to realize that is how I use to smell.

My lovely sweet husband told me recently that he never would say anything about the smell (he's a non-smoker) but that he is so glad I quit because he says I smell awsome now. He says even my hair smelled that way! Gross! I notice, now, he will come up and put his nose in my hair and hug me....quite often. Something he never use to do.

The e-cig has not just given me my life and health back, it has given me special things in my marriage that have brought he and I closer. I tear up when I think or talk about it what I missed out on.

If smokers only KNEW what it's like to NOT be imprisoned by those cancer sticks! And how wonderfully tasty the e-cig is! Wish I could convert them all! Im trying, one by one, starting with those close to me.

I recently was able to convert my best friend and my mother! Im so proud of them both!

It's so strange to know that we've all smelled like that once upon a time. I absolutely hate the smell of cigarette smoke, but I've smoked them for four years. I can't wait for a cleaner, happier lifestyle. And I love that I can smoke inside now with my e-cig. Because of the horrible smell, I couldn't smoke inside my own apartment.

I'm just so thankful to switch over.
