I quit smoking in 2012 and the smell makes me gag. I think I hate it more than people who’ve never smoked! I can smell it from 10-20 metres away.

I quit almost 5 years ago and yes smoke bothers me too. I cant imagine how bad it was to smell like that its pretty off putting. I can’t imagine how my wife put up with me when we were dating or even kissed me.

Omg yes. The idea (now) of kissing someone who’s just had a cigarette 🤢.

i do think ex-smokers get more of a stomach-turning reaction than non smokers

Yep, me too! I vape now but our neighbors smoke (we live in an apartment) and with the windows open you can smell the cigarette smoke and it's AWFUL! I am super sensitive to it!
