I have roughly the same background, although I took up smoking later.
I now feel the same way about cigarette and cigar smoke, I DEFINITELY
can't stand it, especially not cigar smoke (aimed at Mike and
Bjarne :-}). As I remember it I didn't mind it that much before I
started smoking, but it was a long time ago and memories fade away.
Our kids complained a lot about us smoking, which was partly why we
stopped.
Running is, by the way, a very good way of keeping you from
taking up smoking again, running and smoking just don't go together
(of those two vices, running is definitely healthier).

PS Pipe smoke can sometimes be rather pleasant, I think.
