The "smell factor" was and is funny in my situation. I notice it on others and especially in a Motel room or Car HOWEVER, when someone lights up after a meal and I get a whiff, believe it or not, it smells "tempting" but THAT IS THE ONLY TIME. Only smoker in our family is my step-son and then it's just an occasional Ceegar but I only notice it in his truck, never coming from him personally. Funny how all that works ain't it??
