My parents quit smoking a few years ago, my mom had tried unsuccessfully to quit a few times, and what finally did it for her was getting a really bad cold during a really bad cold snap so she really didn't want to go outside to smoke. Then since she quit I think my dad just kind of hopped on the bandwagon with her.

But I remember one time, a year or two later, being at a party at their house with some friends sitting outside, and my one friend who is a smoker lights up, and she told him to come sit next to her because she still really liked the smell.

So different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Doesn't smoking suppress your sense of smell? I wonder if they couldn't smell how bad it is while they were still smoking.
