Reply #11: If smoking didn't make you stink [View All]

[Jane Austin]

so bad, it might not matter, but most smokers don't realize how their skin, their hair, their clothes and their breath smell.

It's enough to make the rest of us gag, and it has no more place in a hospital setting than strong perfume does.

I say this as an ex-smoker who is more sensitive now than before to cigarette smoke.

Sometimes just walking through that gauntlet of smokers outside an office building sets off an asthma attack in me.
