Today, I quit smoking. It seems that when you don't smoke for almost 24 hours, your sense of smell comes back. I then noticed how disgusting my apartment smells. Great. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my coworker told me that I needed to quit smoking because it was making me look and smell horrible. I've never smoked in my life. FML
Today, I realised why I’m so irritable these days. My former flatmate smoked so many cigarettes that, now he’s moved out and taken the smoke with him, I’m going through nicotine withdrawal. I realised this after I saw cigarettes in a shop and couldn’t stop staring at them. FML
Today, I learned that when you quit smoking, you get "Smoker Flu", meaning you feel like you're coming down with something really horrible. The good news is that my throat is so raw, I couldn't smoke a cigarette if I wanted to. FML
Today, I cleaned my entire apartment hoping to find the source of the terrible odor I've been smelling for the past week. It's me. FML
Today, I returned home after a four day weekend at my parents' house. Upon entering by the front door, a horrid stench assaulted my nose. Hours later I still cannot find the source of the foul odor. I'm starting to wonder if this is how it's always smelled without my knowing. FML
Today, I gave up smoking. A few hours later, I caught myself daydreaming about brutally killing a guy that gave me a mean look at the bus. Maybe I should go back to smoking. FML
Today, while going to the bathroom, I noticed a smell lingering. It smelled good so I kept sniffing the air. And then it hit me. My poop! My poop smelled good and I'd been sniffing and enjoying it. FML
Today, I quit smoking. My son came home with an ashtray he made in arts and crafts class. FML
Today, I found I had rolled, and was smoking a cigarette without realising it after proudly entering my third day of being a non-smoker. FML
Today, as I was smoking a cigarette I realized that it's time to quit. This realization came to me after a particularly violent coughing bout forced not tar out of my lungs, but rather poo out of my bum. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's true. When I stopped smoking I started realizing how strong the smell is on my friends and the clothes in my closet. I began to feel bad for people that I sat next to or worked with because I'm positive they could smell me.

But.. The OP quit smoking. If this FML was about a current smoker, everyone would say that, too. There's no winning, is there? Good for you, OP. Hopefully you haven't been smoking long enough for it to have done too much damage. That smell is grody, though!

For those less intelligent, washing then painting the walls with a mildew and mold resistant. And how dare you pass such harsh judgement on someone for doing something bad for their health. I'm sure you'll have a few drunk moments in your life. If you ever get liver cancer, I hope someone tells you that ydi., jerk.

Healthier* Sadly, you can never fully reverse the damage tobacco's done.

however most of the effects of smoking do reverse and they START fast too, in 3 days your lungs start reparing itself.

Well good on you for stopping smoking! :) I'm doing the same, today is my first day and it's actually really hard, especially when my friends smoke too >.

Honestly I'm just wondering how stupid you have to be not not get that you smell as a smoker. Even if you can't smell yourself, you're going to smell awful if you're a smoker - even if you just live with one. Everyone that has ever been around you has noticed the smell and I'm sure it repulsed them.
