    So to be clear no smoking does not mean I am able to vape?

    I quit when they hit 45 cents a pack. I just swapped into a truck that had been a smoker’s with 2 dogs. The company had it detailed twice and I set off an odor killer bomb. It still smells to high heaven. Can’t get rid of the obnoxious odor. That has to kill the resale value.

    I'm a little over 1 year smoke-free after 25 years as a pack/day smoker. It absolutely does, my truck smells like ###. I cant wait to get rid of the thing.

    Had that monkey on my back for 20 years. Still get the urge to light one up. Reading this thread has not made things any easier. I haven't smoked in 10 years.

    Only SOME HM prohibits smoking, explosives & flammable come to mind. Most HM allows smoking by driver.

    In your part of the world it’s probably illegal to fart in public too.

    I used to smoke 7 years ago. I still hate the smell. I wouldn't buy a truck thats been smoked in. I'd feel sick at the end of the day. It's the same way with weed if you ever smoked it you pick up the smell in a second. Its crazy how guys will come in reeking like marijuana smoke and trying so hard to act all sober like nothings up. I'm like seriously I can't believe it. What really stinks is it used to be me.
