It was Thursday night and I was out to dinner in Sydney with a couple of VW mates on the restaurant balcony enjoying a pizza and talking some business when all of a sudden this odour passed my nostrils at a very slow speed. I thought "thats a cigarette" and I then made a visual confirmation seeing the guy at the next table smoking. The smell was really bad and I must have screwed up my face a little only to have the two guys I was sitting with say " thats what they always smell like" but of course they would have never said anything directly I had been smoking at the table. Now I have some idea what tobacco smells like to a non smoker and all I can say is that it aint something I would put my nose into for pleasure. Maybe its taken me 5 weeks to start and appreciate that a couple of my senses are starting to get to where they should have been all the time.
I guess I have to now adopt the same attitude as many people and not say anything about the perple around me who choose to smoke.. I certainly will not ever become a pissed off ex smoker who tries to take things out on the world. Pity they could not find the Champix tablets. Tuesday is week 6 so I am looking forward to it. I see the daily counter is coming down quickly- ,the daughter better start saving up some pennies.
PS. Thanks to all commentees for the responses. I love having a read.

ReplyDeleteohhh yes the smokers do hate an ex-smoker! but you know what, who cares!
ReplyDeletei still get pretty irritated when a smoker is puffing away in my space - i just don't want to inhale that... if i did - i'd still be smoking myself!!
great that you're starting to establish sentiments of a non-smoker dad. you're doing amazingly - it's all easy riding from here!! now you can just appreciate the benefits - and there's a LOT!!
