And I’m tired of having to act like it doesn’t. I just got into an uber where the guy was an obvious smoker and it smelled like heaven. I mean it’s not like the best thing I ever smelled but to me it smells like a good cologne or some masculine sounding deodorant yk. I can’t tell anyone this and pretend I don’t like because I don’t want ppl to think I’m weird but I still secretly enjoy it.
Edit: I’m not a smoker either. Even though I really want to smoke because it looks badass and it smells good the idea that I would pay someone to give me throat cancer is just too embarrassing for me to ever do.

an actual unpopular opinion. upvoted
i grew up smelling cigarettes from my dad so i honestly don’t think it’s as bad as people feel. But I just ended up pretending to others that I don’t like the smell just to not seem weird. The funny thing is I don’t smoke lol
Cig smoke is nasty. Smoke from ganja though? Real nice! Lol.
I stopped dating a guy because he would chain smoke and I couldn’t stand the smell. If it was just one cigarette here and there whatever but he would chief them and I felt like I was literally choking on the smell.
Had an uncle that was a cig smoker and his truck always had that smell. As a kid a I thought it smelled so cool and now I honestly don’t mind it. Def prefer it over the weed smell.
I kind of have an emotional attachment to it. My grandma has been a heavy smoker for as long as i’ve known, and the smell reminds of Thanksgivings and Christmases at her house. I’ve grown to like the smell
And I will add that nicotine in its pure form is actually quite beneficial, but the extra chemicals in a cigarette is what makes it dangerous.
I completely agree. I quit smoking almost 7 years ago. I had hoped that I would hate the smell of cigarette smoke by now but I love it even more. I really enjoy hanging out around smokers and inhaling second hand smoke. It’s like I get to smoke without the guilt.
Grew up around the smell since I was a baby and I love it! Reminds me of my late grandmother who used to take care of me. She would hand me the cigarettes when she was finished and ask me to put them out in the ash tray for her. So many fond memories
my thing is when the smell sticks to someone rather than hovers around a space. they’re two different smells for me. i remember when my mom used to come home late at night from work or just come back in from smoking a cigarette and the smell that stuck to her was the best shit to me haha
I’m on week three of quitting and I’m happy to say that I don’t agree.
I’m thrilled that I no longer smell like an ashtray.
I can’t stand that smell at all, but upvoted because this is actually unpopular
Why does it matter if people think you’re weird if this is something you believe. This is such a small thing, but try being more genuine. Try telling people what you believe
Upvoted because unpopular.
Will say I absolutely detest the smell of cigarettes. They smell like burnt chemicals. But cigars? Cigars can smell good.
same for me. i dont smoke but its a very nice caramel-y rasin-y aroma.
it might be an unpopular opinion today, but people have been conditioned basically since birth to dislike tobacco. if you look back on the rest of human history, the vast majority of cultures all over the world have held the taste and smell of tobacco in high regard for millenia.
ify, reminds me of going to shows or skateboarding w the boys
Damn, an actual unpopular opinion?
In this economy?
Just take my upvote
Decent cigarettes smell really nice. Cheap ones are nasty.
Upvoted for sure
I also quite like the smell from cigarettes, from the smoke itself not the smell that clings onto smokers, some smell like public toilets idk how. I used to smoke real cigarettes but now I’m stuck on vapes, I like not smelling like an crematorium but sometimes when I smell the smoke I kinda want to smoke one again 😔
Okay, I partly share the same opinion (ex-smoker. This is how I feel about “fresh” cigarette smoke i.e. that from a lit cigarette.
As soon as it settles onto things around it (hair, clothes, hands, upholstery etc.) is when it smells gross, almost kinda sour.
Def upvoted for being an unpopular opinion, but I fuckin hate the chain smoking goofball that sits on his stoop 20 times a day down the street from me as the acrid smoke from his Camels wafts into my open windows making my row house smell like a bar from 1997. You do you, but I think it smells like the inside of Satan’s colon, and I’m a former smoker.
Agreed OP, I’ve always loved the smell and as an adult it now is also somewhat nostalgic as well. If smoking wouldn’t kill me I would probably do it.
Ugh no. Not cigarette smoke, that’s vile imo. But weed? Now that smells good to me, even though I’m a 21 yr old with no prior dr*g experience.
Idk I can’t like it,especially when I’m going for a walk with friends and they start smoking around me,so I’m stuck for a while with this disgusting smell
Give your an up vote for a truly unpopular opinion.
If i got in that Uber the smell of the smoke would make me give them a low rating. Now that smell is stuck to my clothes and stuff yuck.
FINALLY someone agrees with me, tired of pretending I am bothered by it
