So i live at home and both my parents smoke indoors probably close to pack a day. I hate the smell and now I even am getting talked to at work about how I smell like smoke and my car does. My car is only 2 months old and has never been smoked in so I guess that tells you just how strong the smell is.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? I cant tell my parents what to do because its their house. I cant move out at this moment in time. I may be able to this time next year. So my only ideas are To put my clothes in baggies in my closet Fabreeze the crap outta them I cant close my door so I cant keep the smoke smell out as much as id like. Im so embarassed by this. I hate the smell too :-( -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

A fan at your door, window cracked, i know this is gonna sound crazy but i had a friend who was in the same situation, he laid his shirts and pants flat after the wash between his matresses. He said that was as close as he could get his clothes not to smell like smoke and they'd be kinda ironed when he took them out.

I don't think that's going to help get the smell out of the house, unless theres a door to the outside from the room lol. Try the fans facing out an open window if you can, that's what I do when I smoke my hookah. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

I was thinking of an air purifier. Do you think it will really help? Those things are pricey but probably worth it.

You could start catching your farts in your hand, and let it free in front of your parents nose. Then, if they tell you to stop, or go outside to fart, make them for a deal, that you both go outside the next time you HAVE TO fart/smoke.
Also, remember to record -> youtube. |

I would just sit down with my parents and tell them that I have been spoken to at work about the cigarette smell that is on my clothes and ask them if they must smoke in the house, if they can do it in their own room or outside.
I understand that your financial situation has you stuck at home, but that is what I would do. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

They do smoke primarily in one room. Its the room farthest from my room. I rarely am out visiting them in that room so its not like its my fault for hanging around them. I asked them if they could try limit it and they were open to trying it.
My work is going to buy me an air purifier for my closet. -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

You could febreeze your car down and just keep your clothes in your car.

I know when my Mom smokes, she'll do it outside. I know when my Aunt & Uncle did they went outside as well. Your parents have to realize that they too smell. Stale cigarrette smoke is the nastiest smell.

I dont know if anyone answered to this or not, but my best friend's parents are like MAJOR chain smokers... Like I couldn't stand to be in my best friend's house because it was just horrible... But one day they got one of those air purifiers and holy hell did that make a difference... It doesnt even smell like smoke anymore in the living room where its at. I'd say its a good investment.

Invest in filters! Go to Sams Club or something and buy the über-pack of filters for the purifier!
