If you are going to smoke indoors discreetly, the amount of visible cigarette smoke and odors must be controlled. Open a window and turn on the fan in the room where you will smoke. Spray an air purifier to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke, and use aromatherapy candles, aerosol sprays, or other fragrances to hide the smell. Don't forget to throw away cigarette butts and don't smoke near the smoke detector.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing the Right Place
Step 1. Choose a smoking room
If you are going to smoke at home, don't smoke all over the house. Instead, set one room in the house as a smoking room. You must always smoke in the room.
Step 2. Smoke before taking a shower
When you turn on the warm water for a shower, steam will be created. This steam can neutralize the air and its smell. Therefore, the smell of cigarette smoke can be removed by steam.
Step 3. Choose a room with good ventilation
When you are going to smoke secretly in a fairly spacious office, choose a room with windows that can be opened. Open the window first so that the volume of cigarette smoke in the room does not accumulate too much.

Step 4. Do not smoke near the smoke detector
When you smoke near a smoke detector, it may light up, letting others know that you are smoking. Although cigarette smoke will not be detected by traditional smoke detectors, more modern tools are able to distinguish cigarette smoke from fire smoke.
- Modern smoke detectors can tell building owners where and when someone smokes via a wireless signal.
- Make sure that there are no smoke detectors in the area where you will smoke.
Step 5. Choose a remote location
When smoking, do not do it in a crowded area. Smoking in a crowded place will increase your chances of being caught. Instead, use a room that is rarely used or secluded.
Method 2 of 3: Getting used to it
Step 1. Use an air purifier
Air purifiers can filter and remove odors in the air so that the smell of cigarette smoke can be hidden. This can prevent the smell of cigarette smoke from being smelled by others.
- A good air purifier usually contains activated carbon. Activated carbon can eliminate the smell of smoke.
- If you are active and will smoke in secret, use an air filter. This portable device can filter cigarette smoke and remove odors and toxins.
Step 2. Wash clothes, curtains and bed sheets regularly
Smoke can stick to clothes, towels, curtains, and bed sheets. Wash these items regularly to remove the lingering smell of cigarette smoke so others don't know that you are a smoker.
Step 3. Sweep and clean the cigarette ash in the room
Cigarette ash can be mixed with dust that sticks to the table, television, or counter. Clean this cigarette ash by wiping it regularly so that the smell of cigarettes left behind is not smelled.
Don't forget to clean the mirrors and windows
Step 4. Clean the cigarette butts
Do not leave cigarette butts in the toilet or in an open trash can. Cover cigarette butts with a wet tissue to prevent the trash can from burning. Discard cigarette butts after covering them with wet wipes.
Step 5. Don't let other people think you're going to smoke
If you are indoors and are going somewhere alone, prepare a credible excuse. For example, a good time to smoke is while transferring documents to another department. Smoke in your spare time when other people won't be looking for you. For example, smoking indoors before lunch is a good option.
Step 6. Turn on the fan
Turn on the air conditioner or fan when smoking in the room. Moving air can hide cigarette smoke making it difficult for others to see. This can lower your chances of being caught smoking by someone else.
Method 3 of 3: Getting Rid of Cigarette Smoke
Step 1. Use a deodorizing spray
After smoking indoors, use a deodorizing spray to deodorize cigarette smoke so you don't get caught. This spray can remove the smell of cigarette smoke without adding another odor.
Step 2. Make a potion to hide the smell of cigarette smoke
When smoking at home, you can make a concoction to hide the smell of cigarette smoke. Fill a pot with water, one cup of white vinegar, cloves, a few drops of orange oil, a pinch of cinnamon. Bring the potion to a boil and then use low heat. Drain for 30 minutes. The potion will hide the smell of cigarette smoke.
If you can't find the ingredients to make a fragrant concoction, just boil a cup of vinegar to hide the smell of cigarette smoke
Step 3. Light an aromatherapy candle
Although difficult to do outdoors, aromatherapy candles can hide or reduce cigarette smoke in a room. There is a large selection of scents that can be purchased in stores or on the internet. Choose the scent you like, then turn it on after smoking indoors.
Step 4. Use air freshener
All types of air fresheners can hide or slightly eliminate the smell of cigarette smoke. Buy a bottle of air freshener and spray it in the room where you smoke. As an alternative, you can use an automatic air freshener that regularly sprays smoking areas.
Tips
- Wash your hands after smoking to get rid of the smell. Liquid soap will stick better to the skin so that the smell of cigarettes will disappear.
- Brush your teeth after smoking. A good toothpaste can remove the smell of cigarettes from your breath.
