Congratulations on likely extinguishment of your shopping trigger use cue, Sue!   Yet another reward, the return of another slice of life!   Watching smokers enter and leave stores reveals who planned to stayimage inside for awhile and had lots of shopping to do, and upon existing those who stayed longer than expected. 

Go easy on mom, Sue, as we accomplish much more if her curiosity about our new life helps to gradually draw her out of dependency's shell than we do by forcing her deeper inside.   

Yes, it's horrible to think that each of us once smelled that way ourselves.  That's what a deadened sniffer does to you, compels others to endure what we ourselves are no longer capable of sensing.   Just one guiding principle if we want the oils on our skin to continue to be natural and our own ... no nicotine today!
