Congrats, and take heart Tam. I've known a large number of ex-smokers who say that it bothers them to be around other smokers. It's not about the smoke tempting them to start again, it's about the smoke flat-out bothering the shit out of them, as in the smell, breathing it in, the stink, etc.
I've never smoked, and in my younger days I worked in bars (back the days when smoking was allowed), was at umpteen zillion house parties where you could cut the smoke with a knife, none of which bothered me. But in my older years, like as I passed 40 or thereabouts, I slowly became less and less tolerant of it. Now I too really can't stand to be around those puffing clouds of smoke.
Sorry to those who take issue with this but the smell frankly does bother people and not for no reason, particularly ex-smokers, at least in my experience.
