Is it normal to like the smell of cigarettes?
Unusual.Less common, but harmless
Yes, some people like the smell of cigarettes, even though plenty of others find it unpleasant. Liking the smell doesn’t mean you want to smoke, but secondhand smoke is still harmful.
Smell is personal, and cigarette smoke can seem appealing because it’s familiar, smoky, or tied to memories and particular places. You’re not the only one who likes it, though it’s less commonly enjoyed than disliked.
You can enjoy the smell without wanting to smoke. Just try not to linger around it: the pleasant scent doesn’t make secondhand smoke harmless.
