Is it normal that i really like the smell of a just lit cigarette?

I'm not a smoker, but I've spent my whole life around those who are. I'll not be starting smoking, either.

I've always wondered why I liked the smell of a cigarette when it is first lit. There's something so intoxicating about it to me. Not that it instills some strange bodily reaction, just that I really like the smell for some reason.

Is it normal?

    Totally normal, although it doesn't taste anything like it smells.

    I have a similar situation and it is very comforting to be around cigarette smoke if your family smokes, even if you do not.

    I love the smell of a good cigar and pipe tobacco but I don't smoke. Yes, it's normal

    Exactly the same with me I grew up in a home full of cigarette smoke then when my mom and dad got divorced I had to live with my mom and see my dad on weekends. Whenever I would come home from my dads my mom would go crazy because I would smell like smoke, but I love the smell it seems to calm me and remind me of being a kid, those were good times.

    What smells good and what smells bad often is trigger by past memories. I feel the same way about cigarets, of corse that's only because my father and I were very close and he smoked often.

    I love the smell of a pipe or a cigar. I wonder why pipes, cigars and cigarettes smell so differently when they're all the same thing; burnt tobacco. Why don't they make cigarettes that smell like pipes?

    I love it! It smells so good. It's normal. We all are appealed by certain smells:) some people like the smell of tires or gasoline, but we smell of cigarettes.
