In my experience too, the answer is a strong YES.  When I was a kid both
my parents smoked, and I don't remember it bothering me too much.  I smoked
for about a year in college, and now (even though he smokes much less) I
can barely stand to visit my father because of his smoking.

Maybe it's because ex-smokers thought SERIOUSLY about what smoking was
doing to them, and what second-hand smoke STILL does.
