The smell seems to permeate everything. As with too much perfume, it ruins the whole experience for everyone, just as you say.<BR/><BR/>I was a smoker for a while but finally quit for good a few years ago due to improving my health. When I started back a little, it was my wine tasting skills that quickly nipped that 'in the buds' as it really does affect your sense of smell and taste.<BR/><BR/>I'm e-mailing this to my boyfriend (who's trying to quit) right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836834983159060886.post-45040267893975848932008-04-07T14:00:00.000-05:002008-04-07T14:00:00.000-05:00Thanks!I've never smoked.

However, a few of my family members did and I am sure it played a part in the death of my grandfather.<BR/><BR/>I also play music from time to time in very smoky bars - which is probably the equivalent of me smoking 2-4 (or more) cigs during those gigs...Joe Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302860568125840279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836834983159060886.post-32262276669317236912008-04-07T12:56:00.000-05:002008-04-07T12:56:00.000-05:00Great topic, Joe, and a post I wish I'd written!Qu...Great topic, Joe, and a post I wish I'd written!<BR/><BR/>Question: did you or members of your family ever smoke?<BR/><BR/>I lost my dad at age 70 to a life-long cigarette habit. I occasionally would volunteer to cook for both he and his second wife, who also smoked. After taking pains to shop for and craft a fine dish, only to see them both pour gobs of salt at the table, I would find myself offended nearly as much by this as by their tobacco habits. I tried in vain to salt their thinking with the many promises of adopting healthy habits, but alas, 'twas not to be.<BR/><BR/>I'm the winehiker today because of my intrinsic desire to reverse the unhealthy and sedentary course of my upbringing. And I LOVE the fine points of tasting wine, simply because I can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
