I've never smoked but I do like the smell of cigarettes.
As a child, I often got car sick because of the smell of petrol. I asked my Dad to smoke a cigarette while he was driving to ward away the smell of the petrol, and this worked wonders for me. I very much doubt that anyone would get away with this in nowaday's woke and triggered society, screaming "CHILD ABUSE!!!1"
End result - Dad finally gave up smoking, so fair play to him, and I no longer get car sick. I still don't like the smell of new cars though (interior).
