I couldn't believe that it could smell that bad, and I couldn't believe that, with that gift of hindsight, the overwhelming majority (i.e. the three out of four people who don't smoke) had put up with it for so long.
Now everywhere is smoke-free you probably won't get to experience the contrast in quite the same way, but perhaps that's no bad thing!

You will probably still notice it as I do in my local, when someone goes outside for a smoke and comes back in you can smell them staight away. Its very noticable when the pub is not very busy, but not quite so at busy times.
