Ever enter the home of a heavy smoker? How long can you bear staying before you have to leave?

Upholstery carpets drapes wreak of the stench. We have a very sweet heighbor who is a heavy smoker. She lives in that and her little dog lives in that. She obviously is unable to smell the stench. Her smeller sniffer must be broken. I wonder if heavy smokers how awful being around them is ?

    10-15 seconds.  
    I wouldn't visit my grandmother because she smoked heavily.

    People get used to their "smell" (cigarettes, pets, food, etc.) as they've become used to it.  If I go out into fresh air for awhile and then come back into my house, it smells; otherwise it smells "normal" to me.  (my house smells like cats and tomatoes).
    It is possible that, over time, one's sense of smell can deteriorate (especially if they've had allergies all their life).
