I can't stand the smell to be honest, but it doesn't have an overall impact on my life. What I do find funny is watching macho boys/men expressing their feminine side whilst exhaling a fruity strawberry sorbet (or whatever the 'in' flavour is) puff of smoke.
Liking strawberries is clearly the mark of a lesser man
Look I get that people don't want to be made to smell a thing they didn't ask for. I don't like smelling peoples farts, food and perfume on a train, and the idea of seeing a miasma of it visibly wafting towards me would certainly make it perceptually worse.
That said, nearly all of these people would have been smoking cigarettes around you instead, so ask yourself if it's really that bad smelling vanilla custard when the alternative is burning leaves that are proven to be bad for you to breathe second hand.
If I could have quit smoking I would have. I tried plenty of times. If that makes me weak willed, well I guess you got me boss. For me it has saved thousands of pounds, and almost certainly improved my health. So I don't care what you think.
