I am more than happy to sit with my friend & chat while they smoke their cigarettes however, although i still enjoy the smell of tobacco & chimney smoke, i simply do not wish to inhale it.
Why ? read on if you dare....
I have fought the battle, travelled the emotional roller coaster, experienced the unadulterated fury & naked vulnerability that is nicotine addiction & withdrawal. The 'journey', that after 5 + years of not smoking, I feel i have been to hell & back & the reward was reclaimed my soul from the devil.
I wear the scars close to my heart, the t-shirt hangs on my wall & I see it in my eyes when i look in the mirror.
As you can tell, there is no way in hell i'd ever smoke again let alone entertain the thought. I am extremely comfortable with that.
Why cheat ?, this is a game of cat n mouse, cheating will only end in tears !
Pass it up! I really believe that I can sit there while my friend smokes and that it won't bother me, except it might cause me to cough. I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke. (I've always used clean air machines.) Fortunately, I was one of last of my circle of friends to quit smoking. The vast majority of my friends were, and are nonsmokers. I think I only have one smoking friend, and she lives in Oakland, CA. Now many of my relatives smoke, but they cannot do so indoors at family gatherings.
