Was a kid in the 80's. I hated the smell of smoke and it irritated my eyes. That is a large part of why my grandparents quit. I'm probably why my parents didn't smoke.
I associate the smell of tobacco with my grandparents. Yet for all the fact i hated it at the time because it overpowered everything? I opened up one of those tobacco smelling candles and... It's stupid i suppose but I was crying for a little bit.
Also in the 1800's you'd have tobacco smoke, but not the industrial scale of cigarettes.
My family smoked like chimneys, 1/2 died from cancer, 1/2 died from emphysema.
You only need to watch one person die from emphysema to decide to never smoke.
Bonus: One great great grandma died from emphysema and never smoked a day in her life... she was a fry cook for 40 years. :(
I'm totally with you on hating cigarettes but pure tobacco smoke doesn't smell terrible IMO
Non-burning tobacco smells AMAZING.
