That #@&*”’¥ smell 🤮

[Rjg45]

I mentioned a while back earlier in my quit period about the smell and how I hate it .

We stopped off at a pub yesterday on the way back from reading , as it was a lovely afternoon we sat in the garden , it was busy so a a couple of tables ..

The smell of cigarette smoke wafting across near us ..OMG , it literally smelt of 💩 .

It is so disgusting .

Is it because I’m trying to stay away from it ? I don’t know 🙄

Some say they love the smell still .. I think that’s a crafty fix in my opinion but ... Each to there own how they deal with it I guess ..

I 100% agree ex smokers are the worst for complaining about ciggy smoke lol ....

Some cigarette tobacco doesn’t bother me others do. It’s more of what brand people are smoking. I agree some smell like 💩

I used to roll them and they deffo dint smell as bad , but since stopping , they all stink the same to me ..

smoking really should be moved away from public areas , outside shops , pubs etc .. Hows that from an ex smoker lol .. can’t believe I’m saying that but I hate it .. smoked for near on 30 yrs , Marlboro reds , then hand rolled , 15/20 a day to zero cold turkey a year ago ... I find it offensive..my wife has never smoked ..she doesn’t complain about it even though she’s aware of it ..I’m the one complaining lol , so as said , ex’s are worse lol

How im feeling right now on day 11 i think i will be exactly the same as you at 1 year smoke free... its a hard habit to kick an as an ex smoker i think you have a right to kick up a fuss as youve managed it.. to quit.

Good luck with your quit , I’m sure your getting plenty of support from on here , feel free to read peoples stories .. If I can do this , I’m sure many many can ..

getting ill put a stop to me puffing away , so done me a favour..

Doesn’t mean I don’t get a reminder though !!!

It does still creep up , with me is when I stress out , with a job I’m doing for instance and it’s going badly wrong .. I’ll walk away make a coffee and then I think about a ciggy lol .. Not that I would plus don’t have any .. Just thoughts and then dismiss and it’s gone as quick as it came ..

Good luck , stay positive 👍😎
