So my roommate is a habitual cigarette smoker. He doesn’t smoke indoors (thankfully) but he does smoke about every other night outdoors. I don’t think he realizes that when he’s done smoking the smell sort of… lingers on him and his clothes. Last night after he was done he was in the kitchen for a bit cooking. I came in this morning to make a sandwich and the smell was all over the kitchen and very pungent, it made me think some food was rotting. This kind of thing happens probably once a week, and while I’m kind of used to it by now I do want to have people over and have them actually be comfortable.
Apart from asking him to quit (I doubt it) is there any sort of concotion or thing I can make / spray / sanitize to get rid of the smell? Some days it’s nonexistent but other days it’s almost unbearable.
If by smoking jacket you mean a space suit that he can smoke inside, then I agree with you.
A smoking jacket is a jacket you wear while smoking, so that the smell sticks to it, instead of the rest of your clothes. It was common back when smoking was cool and not something for losers
I get that, but smoke being a vapor, is not subject to the whims of fabric. For the same reason we don’t make balloons out of smoking jackets.
Smoke is mostly particulates, I think, and most of it will absolutely stick to the jacket and spare the clothing below.
