For me it was buying a vape, using it for a bit, and ultimately being dissatisfied with that it tasted nothing like the real thing and didn’t have the same experience.

Eventually as my sense of smell and taste came back, I was just straight up disgusted with how awful all my clothing, and living space smelled. Took every piece of clothing I had to the laundromat, clean or not, and washed everything, then deep cleaned the place and let everything air out as much as possible.

Getting my sense of taste back was really interesting. I vividly remember going to a restaurant and ordering a steak and taking a bite and it was the most delicious thing I’d ever eaten. It was like holy shit is steak always supposed to taste this good? On the flip side, when I’d go to my boss’s place he’d always stock Busch beer. I remember taking one when offered, like usual, taking a sip and spitting it out because it was so god awful tasting. It was like how the hell did I ever drink this?

I did lapse back to smoking like once a year for a few weeks (usually around the 4th of July) for a couple years after, and smoked cigars occasionally, but that stopped eventually.

Nowadays I really can’t stand the smell of cigarettes. Like I gotta be far away from it.
