    It’s not me and I have an office. It doesn’t get to me.

    But I can definitely see that it would bother a whole lot of people.

    On that, I’m old enough to have begun my working life when people smoked cigarettes at their desks. This is a much, much better alternative.

      Damn the smoking at the desk must have been awful. Dont get me wrong, im a smoker and do enjoy a indoor cig every so often but sitting around it all the time cant be nice.

        The crazy thing is that it was so prevalent, I don’t really remember the world smelling smoky unless I went into a small room like my grandparents living room.

        I didn’t notice it in places like restaurants and bars until after the bans came.

        I would guess that my generation has a diminished sense of smell because of it.

        I smoke too, and I would HATE to bask in my own. Or someone else’s. Just an icky feeling and experience.

          I know it’s wrong and that I’m going to Internet hell for admitting to it, but there’s a smell when Grandma would light her cigarette in the hot box car with the windows up that I find nostalgic to this day even though I find the concept of smoking in a car repugnant

            Nah, plenty of people have that olfactory nostalgia. It’s a pretty normal thing.

            Also, my dad has NEVER smoked but he says he likes the way my cigarettes smell lol
