I hate cigarette smell. Do you?

[Crusinforabrusin]

Nearly every day I have to smell this putrid odor. Every time I smell it , I immediately begin to gag and try to cover my nose because it smells so bad. And I seem to have this paranoia where I think I'm going to get cancer or seriously Ill if I keep breathing the stench in. Thing is , its completely unavoidable, so I have to deal with this paranoia almost on a daily basis.

Anyone know the probability of actually developing lung /breathing issues from the stench?

Note: The smoke I smell is still a recent thing known as thirdhand smoke

I personally can't stand cigarette smoke from a childhood of both of my parents being smokers. However pipe smoke I find soothing...I'm crazy...lol

Yes I do hate Cigarette smoke. Gets me sick. I smoked from the age of 13 to the age of 29. Hardest thing I ever did was quit. . Nicotine is an addictive drug and when you quit it, you go into withdraws and sometimes panic attacks, cold sweats. It's like those people detoxing off alcohol, only not as severe. It took me 13 months to get back to normal again. Been off of them for 26 years and proud of it.

Public places . Walking past people that blow smoke in your face. Such thing known as third hand smoke.

I've never smoked, never plan to, and only rarely come across cigarette smoke. When I do smell it I'm not really bothered by the odor itself; it's more of a peculiar smell than an annoyance. Obviously if I was around it all the time my attitude would change.

I've never heard of third-hand smoke but I know second-hand smoke is almost as bad as doing the smoking yourself. I'd try to limit your exposure as much as possible.

Third hand smoke is the residue/smell that gets into carpets/drapes/walls/surfaces, etc.

Oh okay thanks. I'd imagine that's not as severe as second-hand smoke but dangerous just the same.

Same here.

I don't care for the smell either but most of my husband's relatives are smokers, so I'm around it more than I want to be. My son also smokes but we make him go out on the patio or porch to light up. You can still smell that stale cigarette smoke on his clothes though.

Same here! Friends and relatives that still smoke! I used to smoke but quit years ago. I don't care for the smell either, but out of respect nobody smokes in my house if they are smokers visiting! And I find with the no smoking in buildings rule these days mainly everyone does smoke outside. So I don't really find it that annoying or notice the smell too much!

More than not liking the smell, I worry for the health of the family and friends who smoke! Luckily most aren't really heavy smokers, I do have a friend and a cousin who are though! And as for getting cancer from second or third hand smoke, I don't worry about that at all. I think it is very unlikely!

My best friend smokes pot, but he doesn't smoke regular cigarettes. Anyway, when we are in his apartment, he lights up quite often and the smell doesn't bother me too much, just a little, but I really don't mind it.
