I quit a little over a year ago.

But when I was a smoker, I always smoked behind a dumpster at work (since it is a trash habit anyway), far away from entrances, and if someone was walking with a child in my direction, I would veer another direction as far away as I could get so junior didn't have to inhale my noxious fumes. Anyone who doesn't think second hand smoke can be dangerous is a ######. It is the unfiltered product. But regardless, why should someone have to involuntarily inhale, and be exposed to my filthy stinking habit. This isn't even debatable. Smokers who don't have that courtesy are a-holes. I guess part of the reason is I had shame about smoking, and hated myself for it, but just couldn't stop.

Now that I am smoke free, and I tend to really notice it, the most revolting thing is "Just came in from sub zero temperature smells like smoke guy." Seriously, feces smells better than you. The thought I smelled like that for 17 years is embarrassing, and I am ashamed of myself for it. It is the most dirty, foul, smell of all time. I would rather inhale second hand smoke than smell that. And one guy at work, ALWAYS, comes in and sit down in my office after having one in the cold. I just cut to the chase now, and ask him if he just poo'd in his underwear, or had a smoke? He is starting to get the message.
