I hate smelling like smoke please help!?


Ok, I live in a tiny tiny house with my mom, step dad, and grandma. They are all chain smokers and we can't open windows. I don't smoke and I hate it! My cloths and my hair and everything always smell horrible lke smoke! And im a really clean person so i really hate, exspecially bcuz im a cheerleader and my unifom smells. What can I do if anything? Im only 14 so i really cant buy anything...

Hun I know what you mean...I grew up and always got picked on at school because my parents smoked and I smelled like it..All I can say is try to avoid it and leave the windows up and put a fan in the window.

Why can't you open windows?
Try Febreeze, or being at home less often. Or maybe you can keep your cheerleading uni at a friends house or at school, where it doesn't smell. Also, inform them that their smoke is not only hurting them, but you as well.

You could ask them not to smoke when you are in the room.
Or Febreze is a good product for getting the smell out of fabrics.

I'm more worried about the fact that you are inhaling all that smoke - you're effectively a smoker because of what your folks are doing. Ask them if they'll give you a cigarette, and if they say no, then ask them why they are making you breathe their smoke.

You need to tell your family if you want to stay alive to quit smoking. Especially for you it is horrible bc second hand smoke can also cause cancer. This is so important you need to actively help your family stop smoking for not only their health but yours.... In the mean time you can buy a product that will filter your air, look into different products and see which one best suits you.. it will clear the air of any toxins and get rid of the awful smell. My brother has one, we put it in our closet that smelled like dirty shoes and IMMEDIATELY the smell was gone. If you dont want to buy one, their are services you can look up around your area that will come and filter your air.

try opening all windows, use air freshener, perfume on body and clothes, new shampoo, and new clothes wash (tide)

Tell your parents that it bothers you and if that doesn't work tell them that your teachers are worried that you smoking because you always smell like it. If they are concerned parents then they will stop smoking around you!

Hope that helped!

bring it to their attention. let them see the smoke they leave behind, remove a picture and show them the wall. let them know how you feel. howelse, are they to know ?

smokers can't smell their smoke. one time i took a picture of their ashtray full of butts. i put it on the table for them to see. it woke my family up. maybe it will help you. maube not !!
