i hate girls that smoke, and then spray 3 gallons of body splash on after their cigarette break to “cover up” the stench. It’s not working. Really. There’s a girl that I see in the bathroom all the time (I go often)… and she’s always washin’ her hands like she’s trying to get rid of the first 4 layers of skin. I thought she was just a hypochondriac at first, but when I had to stand by her to get some paper towels I could smell the marlboros on her hair and clothing. I always hear smokers saying “oh, i can’t stand the smell” blah blah blah. They always carry breathmints and anti-bacterial hand gel to cover it up. Stop smoking. There’s your solution - and much cheaper, I might add. And it prevents me from being bombarded with the smell of cheap perfume and menthols.
Hell, if I were a smoker, I wouldn’t be driving myself crazy trying to hide it. I’d walk with my head high - and proud. I’d walk around smelling like an astray, dammit. For instance, I like to eat, so I walk around with my rolls of back fat, very proudly, too! Live with the consequences. Don’t wanna smell like smoke? Don’t smoke! Don’t want no back fat? Don’t eat fat back. Plain and simple.
There are a few exceptions… Kelly and Cyril, for example - both friends of mine who smoke. I don’t knwo why, but if I didn’t know they smoked, I’d never be able to tell. They never “smell” like smoke and they’re not constantly dousing themselves in some odd fragrance. I don’t know what they do differently when they light one up, but more people should do it.
Anywho… don’t smoke n’ stuff. It’s bad for you.
Thanks.

Print her ass out a coupon, and send her to the smokeshop.
I think the key to not smelling like smoke is just simply frequency. If you smoke one or two a day, you can get away with it. If you’re so dependant that your first cigarette of the day involves sitting in bed smoking…we’ll you’re not gonna wash that shit off.
My smoking is off and on. I don’t like to think of myself as a hardened smoker, but I am. I will go the entire week without smoking, but once the weekend rollls around, and I’m with all my friends who smoke…I’m screwed. I can’t sit there and smell the smoke without wanting to.
I switched to the eclipse cigarettes above, they taste like ass, but they’re much better for you, they don’t ash, the only smoke that comes out of the thing is when you exhale, and the smoke doesn’t smell like tobacco.
I believe when you’re in a professional work setting, if you have to deal with the public, as in customers or clients, it’s totally inappropriate to smell of the stuff. Your co-workers - Yeah, let them smell your stink, but especially when trying to acquire new business, it’s a total no-no. For some reason I brake down while at work and need to smoke, I carry gum, mints, and wipes in my car to "clean up" with. I am still finding people that I interact with co-workers/clients that are simply amazed to find out that I smoke. They could never smell it on me, and found out one random day after seeing me ppick up that dirt stick.
Amen Justin. It’s the battle of the lesser of two evils… I agree with you though… I guess the "social" drinker can be likend to the "social" smoker… I don’t mind that at all. It’s the chain smokers that try to cover it up with stank ass perfume that bother me
