17 year smoker, quit 8 years ago. The smell of someone smoking doesn't bother me, but I don't like the smell of it. Someone who just smoked a cigarette and walks in a smoke free room fucking reeks though.
I never knew how nasty I smelled to a non smoker until I quit smoking. Having said that, I fully support a businesses decision to allow smoking in their building if they choose to. If it bothers me that much I just won't go there. |

For several years after I quit smoking the smoke still smelled good. Now I can't stand it.

2.5 years for me, and I'd smoked for decades. I've smoked 5-6 in the past 2 years, and it generally involved alcohol
 Even when I was a smoker, I could never stand the smell 1st thing in the morning, and could seldom smoke until after I'd eaten.To answer the question, not really, but wouldn't care to be in a vehicle with it. |

No I strongly dislike it, and even did when I smoked. I was so glad when they stopped allowing smoking in public places.

Not an ex-smoker, but I like the smell of cigarette smoke in the air when at outdoor social functions.
Nostalgia I guess...takes me back to backyard bbqs in the 80s or some shit. |

Cigarettes is a crap shoot. Some smell OK, others not so much. Distance makes for some of the enjoyment.
Cigars? Yea, those still make my mouth water. |

It’s gross. But now that it is so uncommon it kinda gives me a nostalgic kick.
If I had to smell smoke and like it needs to be from fuel burned in a fun vehicle, wood, or coal. |

Smoked 5 years, 17-23. 36 now.
Nope can't stand the smell of it, it gives me a headache. However still love the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigarettes. Found an unopened pack of Marlboros in the barn while helping clear out my ex-FIL's stuff this summer. Opened it and it smelled glorious. Fortunately the urge to spark one is 100% gone. I used to smoke either Marb reds or Camel wides and I could smell the difference between either if you opened a pack in the dark. My favorite by far were Fortuna cigarettes from Spain. Don't know what extra they put in those but they were great, when I came back to the US it was a sad day when my Fortuna carton ran dry. Now I wouldn't touch the things. |

If I am walking down the street on a cool crisp day and I happen to walk though a light cloud of it...man, love it. Smells so good.
But I know it won't taste like that...and I will never let that beast bury its claws back in my brain. |

Ex-smoker.
From a distance it smells good to me. Up close, nope. The smell on a person is disgusting. They taste like shit now. I tried one after 8 years of not smoking...tasted god-awful. Stubbed it out after two hits. |

Haven’t had one in 38 years. Don’t miss it, don’t want one, but a fresh lit one smells good. Used to smoke one to two packs a day.
Quit cold turkey. Never reached for, never craved one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm 6 months without smoking. I still enjoy the smell of a freshly lit cigarette, but I can also smell the pure stink off folks who do smoke. I don't mind folks smoking around me, but it does make me want one still. All this. Although it has been ~6 years since I quit. The cravings when someone smokes around you do go away eventually. But once in a blue moon I will get a wild ass craving for a smoke out of nowhere. |

For about the first ten years there were times when they smelt good but the past 5 years I can't stand them I can smell someone smoking in front of me on the freeway going 80.
I dont know if they have gotten stronger or if I have become more sensitive. |

2nd hand smoke always smelled like shit to me. My own cigarette wouldn't bother me unless it wafted into me. Smelled like shit on my clothes and in my room too. Glad I quick years ago and never into it nearly as heavy as some people do. I could usually make a pack last a week. Only smoked a bunch at bars or with friends. Missing out on the socialization of just hanging out smoking was the hardest part. It was doing "doing something" even though it was nothing. Kind of like having some beers with someone, it's just something to do. Shame it's so harmful in the long run. If they invented a harmless thing to puff on that tasted and smelled good, that would be alright by me. I guess I just described hookah nights.

If it's just a random Marlboro or whatever...not particularly, no. But now and then, somebody will roll up some nice tobacco, and that always smells pretty good.
I don't actually hate the smell of regular cigarettes or anything, but my sense of smell is WAY heightened these days. I'll be out for a walk around the neighborhood, and I can smell somebody standing out front with one three houses down. I should actually clarify - I don't hate the smell of cigarette smoke as it's burning. But HOLY SHIT, the stale scent left on clothing is just...yowza. It's a testament to how polite people are, that I didn't hear how much I must have fucking reeked at least 5 times a day. |

I quit in '86 after starting in '71. When I quit I was working night shift, and quit after a shift.
My car sat the whole weekend, since I was under the weather. That Monday, my wife and I got into the car to go somewhere before I had to go to work. I asked her if she noticed the smell, and she said your car always smells like this. I haven't touched one since, and now the smell is disgusting to me. I can't believe I ever did it. But I'm not a zealot, if people want to smoke go for it. I do like the no smoking in restaurants and bars these days. There will be no smoking in my vehicles or home, not even the garage. Smoke outside if you want to smoke. That smell lingers long after the smoker has moved on in a home. I do notice I can smell the cigarette smoke from a long way off since I quit. It's not a good smell at all, after quitting. I was using one of those smoke less ash trays, which you have to clean every so often. A disgusting brownish yellow sludge came out of it. It helped me quit when I realized that crap was going into my lungs. |

I still smoke, on again, off again, probably mostly on again... Anyway, even the times I quit for a couple weeks, I find myself hating the smell. It's not so much that it's a horrible odor, but rather that it reminds me of how I smell when I'm smoking. And then, because I'm a stupid fuck, I inevitably pick them back up again. Such a dumb habit.
