Hi
Saturday I went to my parents house. My dad is a chain smoker, usually I go sit in the balcony with him and smoke a few while we talk. It's a nice father daughter time. On my way there I planned,, I would sit with him, borrow a cig and really enjoy the moment. It was a great plan because I was only going to smoke one.
As I got out of the car, dad was smoking right there on the balcony. It smelled horrible, I went to kiss him, he had just showered, but it smelled a lot. I ran inside, all nauseous, two days later still am. Waited for him to come indoor to talk but the smell was driving me crazy. My throat, my nose, my brain has that horrible smell.
All my life, my sister has complained about the cig smell and we disregarded her. I'm sorry I did, I'm sorry I ever bothered her by smoking and torturing her. Now I know.

Rotten chicken is the only thng I can think of that smells worse.
I too apologized to my friends for bringing that smell into their homes.
But the important thing here is YOU DIDN"T SMOKE!!!!!! Good Job....
"Just one"...
I will never smell like that again. Good for you Alma, but I'm sorry you got so sick from it.
My hubby quit over 30 years ago, cold turkey. In the following 27 years, he never once complained about my stench. He must be a saint.
BTW, when i read the subject of your post i said "oh no, that never works!" then i clicked and read your post and out loud i said "YAAAYYYY!!!!!" lol
