That seems like a good idea, but I can't help think it would smell awful.

As a weed smoker: I think the opposite. It'd smell heavenly.

Yeah I've smoked weed off and on over the years but every time I get a whiff of it my nose always perks up. Weed smoke smells so amazing.

Really? That's curious. As a non smoker, for me weed smells like a partially decomposed corpse. I'll prefer cigarette smell to weed smell any day. I always assumed you guys simply stop smelling it after a while, not that it actually smells great for you

I meanโ€ฆ cig smoke smell is super dependent on the cig. Lots of brands smell like complete ass. Nicer stuff like Dunhills actually smell not awful.

I'm not saying I don't have a certain fondness for the smell, but I've also thought: "is that a diaper, a dead thing, or dank".
