    Don't worry! The cigarette smell covers over the "stench" you're asking about!!!

    Now, if we can only get these nit wits to use their car ashtray and not the roadway.......................

    This is due to the permeation of cigarette smoke and toxins that lay on the body and is also excreted by the pores. Approximatelt two weeks after quitting does the odor begin to be cleansed from the body inside and out. Lastly, the smoke odors cling to certain materials such as cotton clothing and other textiles. These need to be cleansed too. Preferably with bleach as most detergents don't do it for long.

    Smokers pay a high price for that stench .The constant stench is for your protection keeping you away from harmful smoke .We pay the price for our bad habit and we pay the tax on every pack.

    yep, particles of the smoke stick them, their hair, their clothes, and the smell follows them around just like pig-pen on the peanuts

    Smoke stays on clothing. That's why people who have a fire in their house, even if stuff is salvageable, get new clothes, counches, etc. It just stays on cloth.
