    If you as much as had a coffee out you used to have to immediately wash everything you were wearing down to your socks. Turns out, jeans don’t automatically stink if you cross your front door with them. Who knew.

    It’s been a while, but that tobacco smell on clothes was so weird. It smelled sweaty even if it wasn’t, like you had been jogging through a house fire. So gross.

      Tbf, that was not only smoke from cigarettes. Combustion engines and furnaces used to add a lot of smoke, too, before the use of catalysators and filters became compulsory.

        Yep, pop down to a classic car show and stand behind a running MK1 Escort

        That’s what the rest of the world smelled like

        I’m sure that made it worse, but I used to live somewhere that only enacted an indoors ban in the late 2010s. It was the cigarettes.
