I know why this is: it’s because my mom, the only family member that I was close with, smoked a whole bunch, and so I have positive childhood associations.

Whether it be the active smell of somebody who’s smoking nearby or the lingering scent that’s left or that sticks around in place where people smoke frequently, such as bars or hallways or similar, I like it a lot.

Yet even so, I was actually stunned when I found that there are very few people who agree, and many are the folks who think that it smells bad.

    Ex smoker, hate the smell.

    The only time I legitimately cherished the smell was when I stepped into a portapotty that had previously smelled like death for the entire week. That day though, some hero decided to chain smoke in that thing and you couldn’t smell the shit anymore.

    We’ve tried the trees you put on your rear view mirror, we tried cans of febreeze, only cigarettes hide the portapotty smell. Please, Cigarette smokers, be the heros we need you to be
