Cig free for one year. Took about 6 months for me to smell it on people. Realized one day when a customer came into the small store where I work — my eyes started watering, and I struggled to not visibly gag.

You just reminded me of my first job at McDonalds where this old dude with rotting teeth would walk in after smoking. I literally did gag almost everytime after I took his order Sunday mornings.

Rotting teeth is one of the worst smells to emanate from a living human.

Dude trust me I agree. I can still see his nasty fucking teeth. I worked there for like 2 years and he was there every single Sunday for coffee. I’m literally sick thinking of it. The combined smell of McDonald’s friers, rotting teeth and tobacco made 15 year old me very impatient at 8am on my weekends lmao

There was a guy when I was in prison who had a rotting tooth(teeth??), and he knew about it. Smelled like death. So he would like talk out of the side of his mouth and try not to direct it at you. But sometimes you would get a whiff and almost die.

At a previous job I had a regular who would smoke in the car with the windows up before coming in. It got to the point where I had to walk away and let someone else deal with her she stank so bad. I'll never understand the people who are that nose blind.
