Smoking is a bad habit but some people definitely manage it better than others. Not every smoker smells like an ashtray but some do. Maybe it has to do w how much they smoke(?) I dunno.
I quit years ago but even when I smoked, I could smell a car that was an ashtray on wheels. Mine never did, I only smoked w the windows down and I’m ashamed to say that I just flicked the butt when I was done. Never used the ashtray in the vehicle. At one point, late in the game, I switched to Camel straights and felt less guilt about the littering because it was all biodegradable. Still litter, though.
I have this theory that smokers stink worse now because smoking is prohibited everywhere and they are forced to wolf one down on quick breaks, etc. My old man smoked until he was about 60 and it’s the weirdest thing but he always smelled amazing...like a bar of soap and Mennen Skin Bracer.
