I only came into contact with cigarette smoke at parties and other get-togethers, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. The houses were always filled with cigarette smoke. Similarly after I left home, only smelled smoke when I was around friends. I came to associate cigarette smoke with fun times with friends and family, so I've always liked the smell. But I grew up in a factory town, so I also like the smell of smokestacks, burning rubber, asphalt, and gasoline. It reminds me of home.
