April will mark 2 years of me being smoke free.

It was not until the last year when I could point out a smoker.

Weird. I could find smokers if I hadn't had a cigarette in a couple of hours.

I smoked for 15 years....quit when i turned 30.....been smoke free for almost 7 years now...i did vape for a while to get off of smoking...i'm quite glad to be done with it all

I can smell a smoker from 1000yds and it still smells good to me....as long as it's not a garbage smoke, then it makes me nauseous

17 years smoke free.

My dad had a 3 pack a day habit

Watched him die of lung cancer and repeating "Help me" over and over

Most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

If you want to smoke then smoke. I quit when I was 38.

Coming up on 22 years cigarette free; I also quit chewing the same day.  I did smoke cigars for a bit after quitting cigarettes, but I've been tobacco free since June 2006.
OP is correct, you (I) can smell a smoker from a couple yards away and they reek.  
Having said that, if I were to be told by a doctor that I had an incurable condition and would be dying from it in a matter of days / weeks / months, I'd hit the nearest convenience store on the way out and buy a carton of Camel filters and a roll of Long Cut Mint Skoal (do they still make and sell that?)!

My grandparents smoked my Dad smoked I never tried it. I have no doubt it's addictive.  I just don't understand why someone in today age would start with all we know about the dangers. You can for sure smell them before you see them.

Its pretty amazing when your sense of smell starts working like it should again. The smell of cigarettes doesn't bother me too much. I was pretty shocked driving on the highway and started smelling cigarette smoke. Started watching the driver in front of me and sure enough, I could see his hand go to his face pretty often. Windows up, air on at 70mph and I could smell it.

I smoked my last cigarette April 9, 2008 I was 38. I am 50 now and I can smell a smoker a mile away now. It took right at 2 months for my sense of smell to come back. And now I can actually smell women’s perfume and some of that shit is just horrible.

Both parents smoked while growing up. Used to sleep buried under covers as a kid in the summertime, with no a/c in the house, because I absolutely hated the smell.

I had moved out, and at Christmas time was about 6 months. Driving back to my place after spending a couple days at the parents house, thinking holy shit, what smells like cigarette smoke???

Everything in the car that was in their house for a couple days.  I left presents in the garage for a few weeks because they stunk so bad.

Every time I hear a smoker say “you can’t even tell”, I just roll the eyes.

I worked at my current job for two years when I quit smoking

When I mentioned it at work, they were all shocked I was a smoker. Nobody ever smelled it

I smoked in my car everyday on the way to work, the way home for lunch, and the drive back to work

It's amazing: some people can light up a pack and you would never know and someone else can smoke just one and they reek.

I guaranfuckintee you couldn't pick me out unless you saw a cigarette in my hand. I'm the cleanest smoker on earth. I'm always up wind when outside, my vehicle has a good draw above 10 mph and I only smoke when the vehicle is in motion ie. never in city traffic, gum and hand sanitizer. I've had people say 'your a smoker? ', they never smelled any smoke on me. It's not something to take pride in though, I'd rather not be a smoker.

I smoked pretty heavily when I was younger, but I quit many years ago, long enough that I no longer feel impelled to virtue signal about my abstinence.

I have been thinking about taking up smoking a pipe occasionally though, mostly just to mess with my husband - don’t want him to get too complacent.
