When i was a smoker i never realized the stench that came with the habit,the car,my clothes,my house,my breath all reeked of the cigarette.
Now i've been smoke free for 5 years smokers really stand out in social gatherings or just passing by, unbeknownst by them they all smell like an ashtray.
At least the vaping doesnt reek like cigarettes
