I used to smoke when I was in college - it was cool back then. When I got married my husband (who did not smoke) finally said to me - don't you know you smell like %#!+. I guess I didn't realize it then, but I never smoked after that. I do think smoking alters your taste buds. We have a lady here at work that smokes and whenever she brings a dish for potluck, no one touches it because it's so salty.
I recently bought fabric from someone on the board that smelled like smoke. I dampened a dryer sheet and put it all in the dryer for a few minutes. Took the smell away.
