Smelling Of Smoke

[DarceyK123]

After reading though Nailits latest post about smells, it made me think.
Do smokers realise they smell so bad?

just one example is I have a very dear friend who is quite well off (good for her she works hard) but even though she wears the latest designer clothes, expensive perfumes ect ect all I can smell when she hugs me is the cigarette smoke.

I feel is it worth spending all that money to just spoil it with smoke smell?

My mum is another example, I remember when I was young and even now, although I really wanted her cuddles I always had to wrinkle my nose up when hugging her which is such a shame.

I had to passionately kiss and snog someone for a scene who chain smoked in real life and who in fairness to him did clean his teeth, mouthwash and mint himself up etc beforehand but I could still really smell / taste it on him, surprised how ill it made me feel, and he was a lovely guy too :/

Friend of mine was helping me out knitting baby hats for a charity I support. When she gave me a bagful I had to wash them before passing them on as they stank of stale smoke. She doesn't smoke but her daughter does.

I have a friend who smokes and whenever I visit her, my clothes reek for days, even down to my bra !!
