Why do they ask you if you smoke?

A good old thread to revive. See if expectations have changed over the years.

 

Yes they have don , greater Omaha has designated smoking and non smoking trucks .

 

I know here at GO Express, it has to do with the resale too. When they get new trucks, they line up a buyer for 4 years down the road ahead of time. A few of them request things like "no smoking" or "no tobacco" or "no pets". I think it only applies to like 15 of the trucks here, but there is a reason they ask. They keep a list of the other non-smoking trucks too, just for people that don't like the smell.

They try real hard to keep Smokers in trucks that have been smoked in, newer or older, doesn't matter.

 

Smokers have a higher rate of accidents, that's a fact. Smoking is a distraction. Plus they leave the truck smelling like a greasy Ho's taint.

 

I'm a non smoker of 2 years in June gotta say I hate the smell and stink of smoke now ...can smell smoke a mile away now .
My greater O truck smelled new inside when I got it and needed very little touching up .
My Morehouse truck had been smoked in heavily when I got it and it reeked .
Its taken 5 weeks of scrubbing every inch of the interior , lots of febreeze , cut up apples to absorb the smell , drowning the hvac system in febreeze , drowning seats the seats in febreeze to the point they were dripping on the floor .
Its finally to the point now that after it sits for the weekend closed up it smells new inside when get in it .
Ex smokers are the worst lol

 

That's one thing I have done my best to avoid. After 50+ years of smoking cigars I honestly don't have the nuts to bellyache too much about smoking. My wife, even with all her medical problems still smokes. Sure, I wish she would quit. But there's no way I will add to her stress level by nagging her about it. And she is as considerate as she can be. She doesn't smoke in the house. Or in the car.
That's more than I can say for myself when I was smoking.

 

I totally agree Don ! I was the smoker that was dedicated and I'd smoke till he'll froze over .
I don't give anyone he'll about smoking either and they'll quit when they are ready ...I smoked for 35 years and have no room to talk .
Just don't smoke in my truck , car or home .
I grew up in a smoking home from a young age and just thought it was normal I guess .
I hope I quit in time but it's been 2 years and strenuous activity like running puts me out of breath .

 

I quit after my first heart attack. Then went back to it for a while. But the major open heart surgery finally convinced me. Funny, but I don't miss it. Not at all.

 

Son, if the truck smells like a greasy ho's taint, that isn't what a cigarette smells like...

...and how would you know?
