A
fter smoking for 25 of my 42 years of age. I now know what things smell like. And I'm not all together sure that is a good thing! Being a smoker, I knew I couldn't really smell cigarettes, but I thought everything else was basically the same for some reason. Now after a few weeks of not smoking, I've learned the following things. 1. Cigarettes stink to high heaven!
2. My mothers house really does smell like a Pug.
3. Frying meat is really pretty nasty. I keep wondering if things are still "good" because ummm are they supposed to smell like that?
4. I have really good taste since my favorite perfume Obsession still smells Divine! Let me tell you, that was a relief!
5. Those wonderful "clumping odor eating" cat litter brands don't work nearly as well as I thought they did!
I'm still not smoking, not even a puff and am learning that its a smelly world we live in!

 | Posted Sep 30th, 2008 at 10:31PM Congratulations. Welcome to a healthier reality. I hope it lasts the rest of your life. |
 | Posted Oct 19th, 2008 at 8:01PM I know exactly how you feel! I quit smoking about 12 years ago and never realized how badly it stank. I didn't miss it all and then, i fell in love and got married to a smoker. His smoke now makes my throat dry, and I can smell smoke on my clothes - can anyone say ewwwwww?? I have a hard time being around him when he's smoking and he refuses to smoke outside. |
 | Posted Oct 21st, 2008 at 7:06AM To add to the list, you realise that: 1) your entire wardrobe smells 2) it tastes awful when you kiss a smoker 3) what you thought was white paint is actually yellow $) you don't need always to carry money to buy a packet of **** |
 | Posted Nov 10th, 2008 at 5:08PM I hope you are still not smoking. I quit at 40 after 25 yrs. I had some setbacks. |
 | Posted Dec 12th, 2008 at 12:37AM That part about the smelly litter box, hit straight home. No wonder anybody's who came home has politely declined to do so again. I realised that six month post the quitting :) |
 | Posted Dec 27th, 2008 at 5:12PM That's great keep it up! There are also good smells too like flowers and candles and cookies baking in the oven and the smell of fresh mowed grass in the summer and rain showers in the spring. (= |
