My house smells like cigars – and I’m a non smoker!

by The Diva

I’m a non smoker trying to live temporarily with two smokers. It’s not working out that well. Not for me that is.

I’ll tell you what happened. I was a smoker. I quit smoking close to two years ago. So did my husband.

However, sometime last fall or so my husband started sneaking smokes and thought he was fooling me. As if I wouldn’t know he was smoking again. I have a super sensitive sense of smell – no not just since I quit smoking, it was there before I quit and it’s very very acute. I could smell the cigarette on him almost as soon as he began smoking again but I didn’t tell him that I knew he was smoking until this past February. Now he smokes open, but only outside.

I think he smokes more now that I know he’s smoking again .. and he smells more.

So now we have this “guest” staying at our house. I knew he was a smoker when he was coming to stay but what I didn’t know was that he smoked cigars pretty much 99% of the time. He goes out buying cigars almost daily! He’s moved in temporarily and now my house smells like cigars because all of his stuff smells like cigars!

He doesn’t smoke his cigars in our house .. but like I said, he smells like cigars and so does everything he owns and that’s gradually seeping in to everything in my home … I’m not liking it.

The next time we get a border … it will be a 100% non smoker!

How to get the smell of cigarettes and cigars out of the house?

by The Diva

It looks like we’re going to be having house guests again in about a month. My husbands brother is going to be coming for a visit from Chicago. Just for the weekend … but it will feel like a week. LOL

When my husband and his brother get together it gets really loud and smelly in here! My brother in law smokes roll your own cigarette and occasionally a cigar … I think he smokes tatuaje cigars but whatever they are, along with the cigarettes … that’s all my house smells of for a week or so after he’s left.

My husband and I smoke as well, but Canadian cigarettes don’t smell quite as much as American ones do. Oh don’t get me wrong I know they smell, but there’s a distinct smell to American cigarettes and cigars.

My brother in law knows he’s not supposed to smoke his cigars or cigarettes in the house. He can smoke our cigarettes … but not his. Still .. after a few drinks and when my husband and him get going out comes those stinky things and I’m stuck with the smell. Grrrr

So how do you get the scent of cigars and cigarettes out of a home? I’d love some good ideas. I put out little dishes with diluted white vinegar and that helps a bit, but not enough. Suggestions?
