It's an addiction and a habit - and like any habit, you have to take responsibility for it.
I smoke. I need to quit. I will, someday.
However, as I had quit before, I learned how it smells. Smokers cannot smell it. If they could, this thread would not be happening.
Ever since, I use large air filters in my apartment, the large "Ionic Breeze" tower ones (Not that brand, they're just more expensive because they're on TV). I change my filters regularly. People who visit do not complain about the smell, and I don't get the nicotine film over all of my belongings. I want to get one for my car now, too, they work very well.
Even as a smoker, I hate a room full of smoke, and I never have that now. I'd bet if this couple got a decent sized one, nobody would ever know they were smoking. I hate the anti-smoking nazis too, but we smokers have to be considerate with our habit - it's not just a bunch of over-sensitive people, cigarette smoke does stink, we just can't smell it.
An honest post and appreciated. THe only disagreement we would have is I don't see the antismoking lobby as Nazis. I really don't.
Good post! Since you were at one time a non smoker and you were able to smell cigarette smoke, you are the only smoker I have ever heard say that they agree that cigarette smoke stinks. I am impressed with your honesty.
