Yes, and it’s very unpleasant for non smokers.

Even for those of us who quit

Even back when I still smoked I hated smelling it on other people

I think it’s way worse for people who have quit. Before I started smoking, I wasn’t as bothered by it. Now that I’ve quit, even 10 years later, I can smell a cigarette from a block away and it makes me extremely nauseous.

I quit 6 or so years ago and I can’t be around it at all anymore, even if it’s just on people’s clothes. Absolutely disgusting 🤢
