What do you have left in your home that still stinks of smoke?

Wife still smokes, so I still get to ENJOY an occasional smoke, without smoking. We stopped smoking Inside, 25 years ago. So Only the cars and patio smell. As long as there is a fresh cigarette burning to mask the stale smoke I'm good with the smell. Also, since I vape NETs, my cars smell mostly of pipe tobacco, instead of stale cig smoke these days. Even with the wife smoking cigs in them.

still live in the same house... its there, I just dont smell it tho. But I can smell another smoker from quite a distance tho... Im still amazed at how quickly I notice that "arouma" from such distances

Same here I was at work yesterday and walked over to the welding shop to get some work done and as soon as I opened the door I was slapped in the face with cigarette smell. None of our employees smoke though, it turned out the x-ray crew was smoking in their "dark room" on the truck. And the shop isn't some small building it's about 100 yards long X 50 yards wide and has 30 foot ceilings, but it smelled like someone smoking in a closet it was so strong.

Strange that it never occurred to me to not smoke in the house. But being as I was a heavy 1 to 4 packs a day smoker, I'd have to of spent most of my time out on the patio, :(.

We used to both smoke in our cars, rather heavily at times. Then we got the new Honda truck back in 2007 and I said "NO smoking in the truck", I did this because we went out somewhere in the other car and the ashtray was full of old cig butts and it stunk so badly in there. So, for the past 8 years that we've had the truck I think we've both only ever snuck a smoke in it twice for each of us so there is absolutely no stink in the truck. The BMW on the other had was so disgustingly stinky (and had some mechanical issues) so when we moved we simply donated it off as there was no way that stink was coming out of that car, I'm sure if I tried to wash the interior the water would have run yellow from the cigs as we smoked just as heavily in the car as we did in the house.

Oh and I had to dig out some tax forms the other day from the shed in the back 40 and I opened up the large rubber box and sure enough the stink of stale cigarettes hit me but good as all the paperwork in there had been in our home office for years and years just sitting on shelves and that's where I did the majority of my daily smoking since I was working in front of my computer for 8 to 21 hours a day, puffing away like a chimney the whole time. So I started the task of putting all the paperwork through the copy machine and threw away the originals, although I had to go buy a new ream of paper as I haven't copied anything on the copy machine since moving to the new house so that paper that was in it stunk as bad as the originals.

Just amazes me how long the stink will stick around, even if the items are in the open air.

Oh I've been trying to help my wife Dutch to vaping, but there's always some crisis out something stressing her out and she always keeps the stinkies. After thus week, though, we're going to try again, I'm getting her sine blister packs of EVOD vv's and some unflavored nic. She seems to be sensitive to something in most of my juices, hopefully it's just the flavoring.

It took me eight months to get my wife to quit smoking, it caused some serious arguments and it was a rough road, to a point we slept in separate rooms but I love her and I had to be cruel to be kind.. She now vapes full time, hasn't smoked for 4 months and I love to buy her new vaping stuff, we have just started to diy juice together and everything is great, she has thanked me a thousand times, she doesn't need too bless her. Good luck and I hope it goes well, just wanted to share that little story with you.

YUP. The water from cleaning the seats was the single MOST disgusting thing about it. It was definitely enough to make me quit sneaking analogs here and there.

Awesome, sometimes I imagine what it would be like if I could get my wife off analogs. She's so stubborn about that and hates everything I buy that is vaping related. Even the cotton.
