I hate how so many cities smell like asphalt and burnt rubber. It is a disgusting smell and it makes our cities feel so dirty and nasty.

I grew up in ghetto whitetrash America, wheee bit more than cigarettes

Cigarettes smell gross objectively but I get a wave of…nostalgia I think? when I smell it

My parents never smoked, but on the rare occasion of going to a sit-down restaurant the whole place smelled of cigs despite being in the “non smoking” section. You know because you’re still in the same room with them.

And when my dad would visit his fire department friends they’d all hang around and at least one of them had one lit up.

We do live in better times in some ways

Some cities still do.
