I switched to heroin. Made quitting cigarettes seem like a walk on the beach.

Seriously though, never smoked so I can't really tell you. Like Matty said I don't really get how smokers can think a piece of gum or a spritz of Listerene covers things up.

I worked with this guy in an office and he was trying to quit - made a big deal out of it, whole office got on board, "rah rah go you, quit smoking we're all behind you" BS. Anyway, two weeks after he "quit" he comes in after lunch and smells like he sat in a burning tobacco field for a week. I was like "dude, did you smoke?" He said "No way man, I quit, haven't had once since two weeks ago." I said "C'mon man, I'm not stupid, you reek of smoke." Just then he took off his jacket and tossed it on his chair and a pack of cigs fell out onto the floor in the middle of the office. I mustered my most disappointed look and walked out.

I've never had a cigarette in my life, but I DO think they smell good. It' so weird, but sometimes I'll be walking around and think "man I could go for a cigarette." So strange...never had one and even I crave 'em.
