How do people react to you after you smoke?

Since it's just us two...(kids married and gone)...the little lady typically only remarks if I officially have "pipe breath", which is obviously not meant as a compliment. As a guy who nearly recoils in horror when someone with bad coffee-cigarette breath (a lethal combination) speaks in my direction , I respect the fact that she doesn't find it pleasant. So whether I eat, drink or brush after smoking, I try to be sensitive about it. Least I can do, especially since she's so understanding of my appreciation for it, and supports the effort and enjoyment I have in refurbishing pipes.

So I voted 'you stink'.  

Everyone that knows me knows I smoke, no one says anything because I'm a known curmudgeon. Strangers, no idea, don't care.

My wife and I love our Cigars. So when I got back into pipe smoking she was cool with it, as long as I didn't start getting cheap on her stoggies.

If aromatic it's all positive, if it's latakia or strong burley, "That stinks".

The wife doesnt like how I smell after smoking Latakia blends, she has never said anything else on other blends, unless she says “I smell smoke on you” which I take as her letting me know that I might want to do something about it before boarding a plane, or in close proximity to others.

Mostly they fall down, gagging, which is an improvement over thrusting a cross at me.

It really spent matter, the smell of smoke on me is better the those who take a bath in perfume or cologne. The smell of My tobacco doent linger for hours like perfume or cologne does.

Lol. We've a close friendship... Me and my friend, not me and his wife.

My wife and kids like the smell, so I smoke everywhere, except in her new car. In public, it has been positive, so far. Example, we were camping at Pokagon State Park, in northern Indiana.  While walking from the campgrounds to the nature center, I was smoking some sort of Lane mixture, enjoying myself immensely.  A family behind us, say 50 feet behind us, close enough I could hear there conversations.  Anyhow, a grandchild was heard to say "Grandpa, what is that really good smell?" his reply "The gentlemen in front of us is smoking a pipe".  I could then hear about which of their family members had smoked a pipe, obviously some good memories tied to this enjoyable instrument of relaxation.  As far as people objecting, I am not very PC, so I don't give a F*ck what they think/say.

Well, I have my first recent negative... after my decades of smoking nothing but Latakia blends, I've begun smoking HH Old Dark Fired after breakfast. My wife said it smells like a Port-au-prince charcoal fire   And here I thought she'd appreciate the difference.

I defy anyone to find "second hand smoke" as the cause of death on any death certificate.  Just shows what a relentless propaganda campaign can do to most of the lemmings.

I fire up some LL Dark Red or Cult Blood Red Moon and
my dog starts whining wanting some.Makes him hungry.

My wife doesn't mind the smell of the smoke itself, just not on my clothes or breath.

This is what is called third hand smoke. It's the sticky stuff that's left over when the second hand smoke dissipates.
