a question for smokers?!


Question: i smoke at work which is against their policy, but the thing is Marlboro really smells strong on me after i finish, so it's a bit hard to get away with it even if its only 3 the whole 8hour shift in the bathroom under the vent..
i used to use cartier, it was good, it wasnt noticable, but its out of stock now, i want a kind that doesnt smell too strong afterwards..
Answers:
When I used to smoke and worked before I had kids and quit, I used to go outside first thing in the morning--I got there a little early for this, had three cigarettes, then worked all day with no cigarette break. Then I'd smoke on the way home. It was hard the first week, but amazingly my body adjusted to it pretty quickly, and it ultimately was the biggest help when I quit b/c I knew how much of the smoking was mental not physical craving. As long as I was busy I wasn't thinking of needing a cigarette.

After the first three, though, I used a simple but pretty effective method to de-stink myself: Calgon body spray. They come in a WIDE variety of scents and are kind of like Febreze for the body, cleansing your skin and even your hair if you put it on your brush and then brush your hair. My favorite was the Morning Glory scent. They are cheap and plentiful.

Actually, Febreze is also a solution since it doesn't stain clothes and really does eliminate, not just cover up odors.

To non smokers, it won't matter what kind you smoke. They will smell it. Yes the lighter the residue the better your chances are. However you are risking your job to smoke 3 cigs? Get some nicorette or something similar to tide you through the day, and light up when you are off the clock.
it like a drug
Try smoking a pretzel stick. Tough to light, but poeople will think you're baking something.
Best advice - DON'T SMOKE AT WORK! You can be fired for that.
menthol's dont leave a strong scent. or..lights. like basic lights. but your best bet is with menthol's
Smoking is not worth loosing a job WAKE UP!
HOW ABOUT NEW PORTS 100'S
The obvious advice is, if you are only smoking 3 in 8 hours, ask yourself if you need to smoke at all. If you really do, then use a nicotine gum or maybe a nasal spray or inhalator at work.

Inveterate smoker myself . need to give up!
i would say go outside walk or drive around.spray your self, brush your teeth and wash your hands and you wont have that issue..i somke occassionally and i do that so my family doesnt smell it but really you shouldnt loose your job over it. If possible kick the habit. if the policy was no eating at your desk and you were hungry would you risk you job or wait for break? i wouldnt smoke in the bathroom.
Why don't you walk out to the street? Even if people can notice the smell on you afterward, you won't have stunk out the bathroom for everyone else, and you won't be penalized for smoking.
ozium it's an air freshener You can get it at walmart.I use to smoke in the locker room at school and I would spray it before and after and you couldn't smell the smoke
QUIT AND GET A JOB SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN SMOKE.
i hear you. i smoke to but to a non-smoker, they can smell it no matter what brand u use. smokers don't pick up the smell that easy because smoking does something to your sense of smell. trust me i tried to tell my grandmother that i quit and since she's a non-smoker, she knew i was lying because i had the smell on me. it's not just your clothes, the smoke gets on your skin, your hair, it's everywhere dude(or dudette)

from 1 smoker to another
To smoke or not to smoke? Question for you..why would you risk smoking at work? Cant you go out side for a few drags? If you are working with nonsmokers they will smell you a mile away and as we all know there is always that one co-worker who loves to be the narc and believe me your butt(no pun intended) will be on the line.From one smoker to another...go outside. Its only fair.
Yes, I also like the tobacco-y smell of Marlboro, but as you say, it smells stronger. Good idea to try nicorette chewing gum, but not really satisfying to a smoker! (I use it on long flights.)

How about switching brands to Benson & Hedges, Dunhills, or a menthol brand like Consulate?

And walk outside to smoke? Go for a stroll, maybe say you are making a private call, or popping out to the shop, and have one on the way. Here in Ireland, we have to go outside to smoke anyway, and you come back refreshed & fresher! My boss smokes in her car, and it does intensify the smell of smoke. Anyone who grudges you three minutes out is likely spending hours of company time chatting to friends on company phones and resents not being able to smoke as well!

When you go outside, by the way, look like you are on the phone or keep walking. Some of us used to have a cigarette in the car park, and the most annoying thing was that you get approached by rude people interrupting your conversation, tourists looking for directions, and pompous guys who think they are the next Surgeon General! It does no harm to get away from a computer screen now & then & rest your eyes.
