Cigarettes stink up the surrounding area, seep indoors, when people do it at entrances, and it lingers. Plus the smoker themselves will have it clinging to them... permalink fedilink source parent [+] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net -6 points 1 year ago If you're used to secondhand smoke they don't smell bad, even good because of the slight nicotine buzz, and I assume everyone in that country is used to secondhand smoke. permalink fedilink source parent
