Phew Urr Gosh...
When I was smoking 20 or so a day, I was always impressed by how little it affected my sense of smell. The only thing I couldn't really smell was cigarette smoke unless it was blowing directly into my face.
Of course, this isn't quite true, though I thought it was. By and large I did maintain quite an impressive olfactory function (sorry, came over all pseudy there), but unless the smell was virtually intolerable to others, I wouldn't be able to smell settled cigarette smoke - the stuff that gets in the clothes, curtains and so on.
I have just dug out for display one of my oldest and most favourite action figures. Criminy, but it honks of stale smoke. I am hoping that exposure to the open air as opposed to its box may do something about that. If not, I can see myself having to soak it in a mild detergent to lose the smell. I hope it doesn't come to that; I have a bunch of these figures and may be selling some on eBay in due course.
Phew, not without giving them a clean, I shan't!
