Cigarettes produce a distinctive and pungent aroma. When you smoke, the aroma will stick to furniture, clothes, and hair. If you live with your parents and don't want to be caught smoking, it's important to reduce the smell of cigarettes. By taking the right precautions, parents will not know your smoking habit.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Controlling Cigarette Smoke
Step 1. Find a hidden place to smoke
If possible, smoke in the open. Garage or the area under the balcony of the house is a good option. If you can't smoke in the open, you can smoke in the bathroom.
The bedroom is not a good place to smoke. This is because there are many fabrics and clothes that can absorb cigarette smoke so the smell is difficult to remove
Step 2. Determine the right smoking time
If you smoke every hour, your parents will be suspicious. Determine smoking time wisely. Come up with a compelling reason to smoke.
- Before bathing.
- Using the bathroom after eating.
- When calling your lover.
Step 3. Block the door gap
Use a towel to close the door gap. Freshly washed towels will smell better when exposed to air. If you are going to smoke outside or in the garage, ignore this step.
Step 4. Take advantage of the existing window
If you smoke indoors, exhale the smoke towards the open window. By doing this, cigarette smoke will not be billowing in the room. In addition, open windows can also help refresh the air in the room.
Step 5. Use a fan
Setting up good ventilation is the most important step when smoking indoors. Fans placed in windows can help control airflow and remove odors and puffs of cigarette smoke.
Smoke in a room that already has a fan. Carrying a fan when going to smoke will make you look suspicious
Part 2 of 3: Hiding the Smell of Cigarettes
Step 1. Protect your clothes
A lightweight jacket, sweater, or long-sleeved shirt can help prevent cigarette smoke from sticking to your clothes. Place this shield where you usually smoke.
Step 2. Burn the dried herbs
Dried herbs are generally sold in the form of bars. This dried herb is better known as incense with a strong aroma. Dried herbs can hide the smell of cigarettes. In addition, the cigarette smoke coming out of the room will not look suspicious.
Step 3. Use cologne/perfume/air freshener
Spray this fragrance before and after smoking. By doing this, the fragrance is not used too much so that parents will not suspect. Don't let your parents get suspicious because you put on too much fragrance.
Step 4. Use a deodorizer
Ozoim is a deodorizing agent that allows your nose to only inhale the deodorizing aroma. This product is usually used to produce a “new car smell”, but it can also be used to remove various odors. Use the deodorizer according to the instructions for use. Spray it when you leave the room after smoking.
Part 3 of 3: Getting Rid of Cigarette Odor on the Body
Step 1. Refresh your breath
Brush your teeth after smoking. If you smoke outside and have to pass through your parents' room to go to the bathroom, chew gum to freshen your breath. You can also hide the smell of cigarettes by eating foods with strong odors, such as onions or garlic. If you use this method, your mouth will smell like onions or garlic. However, this may be better than a stinky mouth.
Step 2. Wash your hands
Use soap with a strong scent to wash your hands. If it still smells like cigarettes, use a scented moisturizer or hand sanitizer. You can also get rid of the smell of cigarettes by eating oranges. Peeling the orange will make the aroma stick to your hands.
Step 3. Use alcohol
You can clean the tar stuck to your hands with rubbing alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol can be applied to the skin. Alcohol will dry out your skin. Therefore, immediately apply moisturizer after using alcohol.
Step 4. Wash hair with shampoo
Hair can absorb the smell of cigarettes because hair has follicles that are able to absorb particles of cigarette smoke. The smell of this cigarette will not go away quickly. The way to get rid of the smell of cigarettes sticking to your hair is to wash it with shampoo. Coconut shampoo and scented hair products can help get rid of the cigarette smell in your hair.
Tips
- Switch to e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes do not produce a strong tobacco smell. In addition, you can still get the nicotine intake you need.
- Non-smokers have a better sense of smell than smokers. When you're sure the smell of cigarettes is gone, a non-smoker may still be able to smell it. If you can smell cigarettes, non-smokers can definitely smell it.
- The only way to get rid of the smell of cigarettes is to quit smoking. This method can only be done if you can consistently stop smoking.
- Smoke by the window. Spray deodorant by the window when you're done. Dairy products are very good at eliminating the smell of cigarettes. Make sure the cigarette packs are hidden in a place where it is impossible for parents to find them.
Warning
- Menthol cigarettes smell the same as regular cigarettes.
- Minors may not smoke. Cigarettes are very dangerous for a child's body that is still growing and developing.
