Talking, You may be interested in my phobia/revulsion as I have never seen it discussed nor did I find it on your list. I have had a lifelong phobia that involves an intense aversion to cigarettes. It is not typical. As a child, I could not say the word 'cigarette' it was so disgusting to me. I could not bear to touch an actual cigarette or the packages they came in. I could not eat the candy cigarettes that friends sometimes bought nor could I bear to touch even the candy version. I still have this condition in regard to the real thing. I remember as a cub scout helping to clean a playground as a volunteer project. When the counselor tried to make me pick up cigarette butts I adamantly refused. I could not tell him why and I gagged when he picked some up himself. As a child, I also had a wasp sting while at the swimming pool. A lady opened a cigarette and put the tobacco on it as sort of poultice. I ran screaming to the edge of the water and washed it off. The adults though I was crazy, but I couldn't bear to have tobacco touching me. My disgust with dirty ashtrays, smoke and cigarette butts seems to be beyond the familiar disgust of a non-smoker. Smoking a cigarette does not even fit into the realm of conceivable for me. I am otherwise not squeamish at all. I can watch surgery, deliver puppies, clean a foul diaper, etc. with no problem. Have you ever heard of this condition?
I'm surprised there is no name for cigarette phobia or specifically cigarette smoke phobia. I really feel fear and disgust as well as actual health problems if I am in the same room as someone smoking, I avoid smoky places, I think it's a reasonable health measure anyway, but I can't even bear to watch people smoking on the TV, it makes me nauseous, the idea of anyone wanting to inhale smoke, I don't think there are many things more disgusting, and I cross the road to avoid any of the smoke getting into my lungs if someone is smoking on the same side of the street as me and walking towards me, or I take a huge gulp of air before I get near them so I don't have to take in another breath until they have passed. I still sometimes get a whiff of it and then cough and get a lot of phlegm and sometimes really bad breathing trouble. I think my increasing fear has grown out if my bad health as a child caused by second-hand smoke from my mother. I'm not a generally squeamish person at all.
I just wanted to respond to the fear of cigarettes that you listed. I have almost the exact same symptoms as described by the lady in her letter and was rather glad to find that somebody else have this weird phobia. Around here everybody just seem to think I'm paranoid. I've been doing some research and needless to say I couldn't find any official listing of the condition. So instead I checked up on Greek terminology - seeing that 'phobia' is Greek.KAPNIZIE means smoking in Greek and KAPNO means smoke, so Idecided to call this condition KAPNOPHOBIA.It has a nice ring to it and it's probably quite accurate.
