People who smoke really do stink.
I guess they are used to it and don’t notice it, but it isn’t pleasant.
I agree, if you don’t smoke it is just repugnant to be near a smoker. It is imbedded in their clothes and hair etc. My son smokes & even tho I don’t notice it that much, hubby just gets sick from the odor (he has lung problems)....if I have the least bit of a cold & a smoker comes near, it makes me cough & gag.
I’ve worked with folks who kept horses .... they smelled too. Somehow we all survived.
They really do. My mom and dad smoked 2 packs a day...each. I remember seeing the smoke hover at about 4' high in the living room at night. Now...I know instantly when someone is a heavy smoker or is around a heavy smoker...because they stink.
I am ALSO horrified at the thought of just how bad I must have smelled because of all that 2nd hand smoke. Just to think I went through life smelling like that. I guess the only consolation is everyone else's parents were smoking so we all stunk.
