Smoking Really Makes your Clothes, Car and Hair STINK and Smell

I guess I knew when I smoked, but I didn’t realise how BAD it was until I quit.

• Cigarettes make your clothes smell
• They make your hair smell
• They make your car smell (if you smoke in it)
• If you smoke inside it makes your curtains smell, your sofa, your bed, your chair..

This is a pretty short-term effect, but it’s very anti-social and it’s quite a putrid smell, especially ashtrays and extinguised ciggarettes.

It’s to the extent it may actually put people off from buying your car or home if you are a heavy smoker

I noticed this very strongly after a night out recently, when I was in close proximity of 2 smokers for the evening.

When I came home I could really smell the smoke in my hair and saturating my clothes, it was quite disgusting.

Smoking dulls the power of your tastebuds and your sense of smell, so for one it doesn’t seem so bad, and as a smoker you can’t really smell it anyway as you are inhaling it.

It’s like people with Bodily Odours, they aren’t really aware of their own smell, but those around them can smell it clearly.

 

Same for smokers and the smell of ciggarete smoke, as someone who’s quit, my sense of smell has returned and I am very sensitive to the smell of a smokers space now.

When getting a lift in a colleagues car recently, the smell of smoke actually made me slightly nauseous.

I suggest IF you are a smoker, you should consider this when smoking around others, no more smoking in my car! That’s for sure.
