genuinely good on you for thinking about your fellow humans - i appreciate it. however, smokers, after just having smoked, have a very strong cigarette smell that still lingers for at least half an hour, so even with that, it’s still easy to annoy people’s noses.
I’m mostly down to low level nicotine pouches these days without conscious effort. I’m the former two pack a day smoker who’s down to about a pack a week because of the bans and social stigma. I only smoke in my backyard, only in clothes dedicated to the activity, and empty my ashtrays into separate bags, outside.
I don’t carry cigarettes outside my property, and don’t go into public without a shower and fresh change of clothes.
I’m actually grateful for the cultural shift. It’s been good to me and for me without ever having that “I’m gonna quit any day now” struggle.
In spite of what little of the habit still lingers with me, it’s down far enough that I absolutely smell other smokers around me.
The next generation is never gonna know the question “smoking or non?”
All that said, I could not have imagined in the seventies that tobacco would be a social pariah, mostly illegal, and marijuana would be mostly legal and totally acceptable. The whole reality flipped!
