To each their own. I love the smell of cigs, cigars, pipes and e cigs. Especially the smell of a good cigar.
Some pipe tobacco doesn’t smell too bad initially, and vapor is an entirely different category. But to a non-smoker that hasn’t lost his sense of smell due to smoking, most tobacco smells worse than a smoldering manure pit. And like I said, it gets all over everything and lingers for years.
Anybody who’s rehabbed a smoker’s house will tell you that some things have to be replaced like flooring, and the walls have to be sealed with a non-permeable primer.
