In the distant past, I used to be able to sit down at a bar where people would smoke, and not mind at all. Then came the smoking ban, which made me find it unpleasant, but not a big deal. Then came the lockdowns, and I got used to breathing super fresh air all the time. Now I start coughing if someone outdoors smokes 5m away from me and the wind blows it in my direction. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?

    Not more then usually. However, since lockdowns, the stench on the street from the traffic, mopeds,… is terrible, as is the noise.

    I’m even less inclined to be around people since then. After those 2 wonderfully quiet years I just prefer the room around me.
