Bypass,
Congratulations on your decision to quit and welcome to the site.
Nothing is insurmountable if you want it badly enough. Your quit is about your life. You quit, you live, you smoke, you die. Pretty simple stuff there.
The vile stench that a smoker carries with them is one of the things that an active smoker is never really aware of. The newly quit person will become acutely aware of smokers very quickly as the sense of smell returns. As the others have said here, your repulsion to this foul odor will subside in due time. It is much like working on a hog farm. At first you will want to puke from the odor, but after being in the hogs fine company for a while you will become desensitized to it. Great analogy, huh?
Now that you know it will be all better soon, imagine for a moment what a "never smoker" guest smells when he/she comes over to your house and sits around your dear wife? Pretty nasty stuff to think about, isn't it? But hey, you and I were there once! Sure am glad I smell all rosy now.. :p
Oh, and your wife pledging to smoke forever? That is good stuff. I'll stop here. :8|:
