The many ways we de-smoke ourselves

[proteus]

When I come back inside from a long session with or even after a few bowls in general of unpolite blends I'll grab some minty stuff and brush up then grab a few Ricola and change my shirt. Then the wife doesn't say I smell like an ashtray. Which I'm not sure is a compliment or not. Still deciding.

What's your airing out method? Or do you even use one?

If it smells good enough for me l to smoke it's probably an improvement on my odour.

Edit: I shower, I'm clean and non-stinky, I just like the smell of tobacco more than human.

I have a "smoking shirt" that goes on over whatever I'm wearing. So clean-up is 3 steps:

- remove said smoking shirt
- wash hands and face with soap and water
- mouthwash

I'm a widower and live alone so I can't say for certain that this would pass the wife test. But I've definitely done this just prior to being around other people and heard no complaints.

I’m divorced, I don’t have to worry about that shit anymore, thank the almighty Lawd, I work from home too. A good portion of modern men & woman are so conditioned to think tobacco is evil, there is no point to try to change their minds. I used to have to delouse before I walked through the door and shower & brush my teeth (if I was looking to get frisky). My ex always complained about 3rd hand smoke and no, that is not a type o. The funny thing is, it didn’t seem to bother her at all until we got married.

A gal I’m dating now says that she loves the smell of my pipe smoke on my beard… I guarantee you that would change if we got married (which we aren’t).

Ho boy! I could fill volumes based on this statement right here. I guess she could too.

I have a second pipe. Seems to work just fine.

So, usually it’s change my shirt and brush my teeth. However after pipe club, it’s also take a shower and separate my close from the rest of the dirty ones - I have no idea why, but that’s the request..

Tell her that hurts your feelings and when your feelings are hurt you want to smoke more. Normal hygiene is enough de-smoking for me.

None of the women who have been in my life have ever confused the smell of good pipe tobacco with the smell of cigarettes or cigars. (I've actually have never smoked a cigarette but I have smoked many cigars.)

Never detox my shirts. Wife smokes so it's no problem.

Cigarettes and vape, my wife used to make comments. With pipe smoking, she rarely says anything bad. On occasions, she will say something. But she's been very civil about pipe smoking. She still don't like it, but she doesn't care for tobacco of all kinds.

 

[Chasing Embers]

do you even use one?

Never found a need to. I live in a tobacco friendly community and has never been an issue.

Since my wife still smokes cigarettes, it's not a problem for me.

That's why absolutely no tobacco blend is called Wedding Ring. I'm divorced and remarried and I've come to realize this phenomenon.

Mouthwash.

This about sums it up for me

 

[PipeIT]

This is way to complex for me!

To much Western Living & Thinking if you ask me.

Be Free, be risky, hell show this to the wife next time she complains! LOL
