How can I get rid of the cigarette smoke smell in my room?
It's really difficult and builds up over time. That's why hotels have smoking and non-smoking rooms. It's literally impossible to sanitize the room so that a non-smoker can't tell there were smokers in it.The best way to get rid of the smell is to remove all furniture, chemically clean the carpets, wash the walls with TSP and then repaint everything. The furniture can be cleaned but will likely still carry some odor. The best way to keep a room from smelling like cigarette smoke in the first place is to not smoke in that room.

White Vinegar destroys the smell, once and for all. Pour undiluted White Vinegar into a spritzer bottle and spray the suitcase with this both inside and out. Leave the suitcase open until it is completely dry. Once the Vinegar smell dissipates, the smoke smell will be gone, too. Guaranteed. -
Will smoking a first cigarette outside smell? I just smoked my first cigarette ever outside in the rain. Will I smell really bad?
If you were in the rain, it will stick to you even more due to the humidity. And yes, one cigarette is enough to make you smell. The thing is, you won't notice it. Only non-smokers will.The only way to get it off you is to take a shower, wash your hair and put clean clothes on. There is nothing you can do to cover it up, no matter how much you think it will.The blunt truth is, smokers stink. They smell like an old, dirty ashtray. I never realized how bad they smell until I quit. Now I can smell a smoker anywhere. I can even smell if someone is smoking in a car ahead of me. There is no covering it up.Of course, there is an easy solution to this…but I think you already know what that is.
How do I prevent my clothes from smelling like cigarette smoke?
Air them out. Hang the cigarette smoke infested clothing in the open air. If you can’t hang things outside, hang the clothing in a breezy, warm, and sunlit room filled with lots of green leafy plants to help absorb the odors. Use a fan to create air movement. The length of time you need to air clothes depends upon how saturated the clothing is with smoke and how sensitive you are to the odor. The length of airing can be as little as a few hours to a couple weeks.Soaking. To remove the odor, soak the clothing in a sink or washing machine filled with warm water and one cup baking soda before washing. Overnight is usually sufficient.Washing. After soaking, wash according to the garment care label instructions using unscented laundry detergent. Add a cup of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle and stop the cycle. Let the laundry soak for an hour before completing the rinse cycle. To insure that all detergent has been rinsed from your clothing, add an extra rinse cycle but do not add any additives to this extra rinse. If the clothes should be hand washed, follow your usual routine but add the distilled white vinegar to the rinse water.Drying and airing. Dry the freshly washed clothes and linens on a clothes line or clothes rack in the sunlight. The ultra-violet rays of the sunlight will help remove odors and smells; however, bright sunlight can cause dyes to fade so hang dark colors in the shade. The line drying will also provide a final opportunity for clothes to air out. If you must dry in a clothes dryer, use a low temperature setting because excessively high heat can actually cause any remaining odors to set into the fabric by bonding with fibers and dyes.Use a fabric refresher. You may find that a fabric refresher in either scented or unscented formulas, may remove odors. There are in-wash formulas as well as sprays. If spraying, spray the clothing outside and let it continue to air.Store away. You really don't want to store clothes away with any type of strong odor. But, you can place the garments in a sealed plastic tub or heavy-duty plastic bag with a box of baking soda. Leave them sealed for a week or so. The baking soda will absorb the odors-similar to what it does in your refrigerator.Repeat if necessary. Once through this process will effectively remove smells and irritants enough for most people. If your clothes still have bothersome cigarette odors, you can repeat the steps. These methods are safe for all washable fabrics.
Will febreze cover up cigarette smoke?
Like not just on clothing but in a windowless bathroom with a fan? I live in an apartment and don't feel like going outside at night for a cigarette cause I'm lazy and there's a weird guy below us xD And if it doesn't cover it up all the way will it at least make it seem like the smells less strong so I can blame it on the people below or above if my mom asks about it?

If you smoke cigarettes in the rain does the smell stick to you less or more?
Over the years, particularly since indoor smoking was mostly banned, I have noticed there seems to be a peculiar and distinctive change to a smokers breath when a smoker smokes outside in the cold air and then re- enters a warm room.The smell seems to be much more noticeable and much more acrid and piercing than usual.Smoking outside on a warm day seems to have less of an effect.I noticed this a lot even when I was smoker and was very self conscious about walking back into a room when I had been smoking outside in the cold.I don’t know why this happens but I’m guessing it might have something to do with the reaction between volatile compounds in the cigarette with cold air?So I would say that when smoking in cold rain, it’s not that the smoke sticks to you more, it’s the reaction of the tobacco smoke on your breath which changes and becomes more noticeable.
