It's been about 2 years plus now I've been quit from smoking cigs, I think at least, anyway my sense of smell is finally coming back and wow. My clothes actually smell nice, they smell like tide from the wash. Even my towels smell good. Like the other day I washed my dad's clothes and they stunk because he never showers, yuck, but me on the other hand, tide fresh scent. Very cool.

i stopped smoking about 8 years ago and though my partner was the biggest driver of me doing that, it doesn't come without some regrets on her part.. it turns out I have the nose of a bloodhound and I can't help but complain about bad smells.

    My sense of smell has never been great so i guess I've got less to lose. Thanks for the inspiration to try smoking

    There was a point where that happened to me as well and it was a big motivator to keep not smoking even longer.

    Not only my clothes but small other things too, my pillow didn't smell like an ashtray because i didn't smell like an ashtray. I quit getting random whiffs of cigarette smoke throughout the day because it wasn't emanating from me. I cut back on cologne usage because I wasn't covering up the chimney smell.

    Not smoking is great. I'm really proud of you for whatever it's worth.

    ty! And you as well. I did switch over to low dose nic pouches, but I guess we all have our vices to deal with hellworld.

    it took me 3 years of pouches and gum to finally quit nicotine once and for all.. and that only happened because of covid when I could basically not interact with anyone face-to-face for a few solid weeks which is what I always needed in order to finally pull it off.
