Hi everyone.
I need some advice. I have quit smoking by using a e cig and going to a hypnotherapy session. I was a heavy smoker of 40 a day and have now not touched a cigarette for 3 months. However, I have the most huge cravings sometimes but I bash them away and power through!
My question is this:
Since giving up tobacco, my senses have heightened and I can now smell a smoker a mile away. My husband used to smoke and gave up a year before me. Yet now, when he's close to me, I can smell the faint smell of smoke.
It has happened a few times. I also smell it on his breath. The 1st time I smelt it I was still smoking myself and I found cigarettes in his pocket. He admitted and said he was stupid to do it especially knowing I was due to quit so he stopped (apparently) again. I can now smell it all over again and have questioned him about this and he says he hasn't touched any but I can smell it!! He kissed me the other night and I felt sick... I smelt fags. It made my tummy go all icky. Am I going crazy? Please help me. I dont trust the fact that he isn't having the odd fag here and there but I know what I smell! He says i'm mad. Im worried I am! I am also worried that because I have caught him before, i'm smelling things that are not there! Any input would be great thanks x
Hiya Pammy and a big warm welcome to quit support😃
Massive congratulations on your 3 month quit, fantastic so well done👍
I live with a smoker and yes, what you say about the smell is the same for me😝
So NO NO NO you're not going crazy and smokers don't really know how bad they smell to us unfortunately😳 I use a lot of scented candles and air freshener😂
When he sees how well you're doing, it might make him realise errrrrrrrrrm well he is a man so I'll leave it at that😁😁😁 keep going with that great quit you have, as you're doing brilliant😃😃x
