Not recommending anyone start smoking. Just saying, both still leave an odor and bother people who don't do those things.
I cant stand the smell of incense, even as a smoker. Even some candle scents bother me.
And to any under 18(Not you Boru, just anyone who might happen upon this thread) that might read this. Don't smoke either. Just because I am addicted and got stupid, does not mean the industry should get you involved too.
Not lately, but decades ago when the anti smoking in buildings laws started talking off, other fellow smokers used to bitch to me. Even as a smoker, I didn't agree, or give a shit. If I have to walk outside to prevent discomfort to others, damn right I am willing to do it. Even as a smoker, I had been in a few bars in my life where the ventilation sucked so bad the smoke even bothered me. So I get smoking outside, I am fine with it.
I'd only say, when you are as addicted to nicotine as I am, a 24 hour flight to Australia FUCKING SUCKS, and it doesn't help that you cant sleep and are afraid of turbulence too.
Okaaaaay….

What is the "Okaaay" about?
My dad caught me at the age of 11 smoking. Tried to get me to quit by making me smoke a pack of Marlboros( I only got into one, but it was his threat) and on top of that made me take of shot of whiskey. His intent was to get me sick, so I wouldn't like it. Just like you hate the smell of cigars. It simply didn't work. And as far as starting my more frequent smoking at the age of 13, other boys on my block were stealing the cigarettes from their parents and sharing them with me, as well as I stole smokes from my late mother , one by one so she wouldn't notice.. I hope you don't stupidly think kids never get a hold of adult products? This was the mid 70s.
Long ago my late mother did, after my late father died, and both of them smoked indoors. What made me stop smoking indoors at least back then was coming across my late mother falling asleep on the couch or in her bed letting her cigarette fall out of the ashtray sometimes finding it on the floor. That was the main reason I don't care about laws banning smoking inside.
And as far as "Jonesing" it is stupid to assume, that even with cigarettes or cigars or even chew, everyone can simply stop when they want. Nicotine is addictive. I certainly wasn't like a drunk passenger causing the flight staff problems when I got to Australia, but I was wired, my heart was racing and my blood pressure and anxiety kept me awake the entir flight. My brain was screaming "I NEED NICOTINE". Once I arrived and was able to smoke, my nerves calmed down.
