Smoking indoors is never an ideal situation; even so, situations arise where it's better to go outside.It can be difficult to make sure the smoke is out.It's difficult if you're trying to keep it low.There are a lot of things you can do to reduce the risk of smoking indoors.There are lots of things you can do to improve your chances of being caught smoking inside.Taking care of the smell, directing the smoke, and properly disposing of evidence will help you get by undetected.
Step 1: It's a good idea to open a window or fireplace duct.
It's important to give the smoke an exit to escape before you start smoking.Your health will be at risk if you don't have an open window or duct.Depending on the room you're going to smoke in, there should be a window to open.Fireplaces are specifically designed to let smoke escape and a fireplace duct is an even better choice.It's not a good idea to smoke in a room that doesn't have access to the outside.
Step 2: There is a towel against the door.
It's important that the smoke doesn't escape to other parts of the house or building you're smoking in.You can place a towel along the bottom of the door to do this.The towel will block off the most obvious place for smoke to escape.If you're worried about being caught after the fact, making the towel wet might not be a good idea.Someone else might notice the wet patch on your doorstep and start asking questions.
Step 3: You can turn on a fan.
Making sure your room has good air circulation is the most important way to prepare for smoking indoors.The smoke will be dispersed by a fan after it forms.The particulars will vary depending on the type of room you're smoking in, but a tabletop fan will work well if you have it pointed at an open window.Ventiloquisms that clean the air by sucking up excess moisture and particles can be found in some bathrooms.If your bathroom has this or something similar to it, turning it on and aiming the smoke towards it could be a quick way to eliminate the smell and smoke.
Step 4: It is a good idea to fill your room with another smell.
When other people are in the house, masking the scent with another, more powerful one is a great way to deal with the smoke smell.The trick is figuring out which one is best for your situation.Air fresheners are the most common method of masking scent.The room perfumes spread a mild, unintrusive smell designed to eliminate other odors in the air.Air fresheners are inexpensive and easy to find.Purchase one at your nearest store if you don't already own one.Make sure to give attention to the ceiling, corners, and other areas of the room after you have it.If you're in a bathroom, it's a good idea to put a small amount of shampoo in the sink and mix it with some hot water.The smoke will be harder to detect because the aromatic qualities of the shampoo will quickly fill the room.When it comes to masking smoke, incense is one of the most effective options.In certain environments, incense might raise eyebrows, and some people might find the smell just as intrusive as a cigarette.
Step 5: Smoke after someone else does.
If anyone living with you smokes and you don't want them to find out, try smoking after them.
Step 6: You can aim out a window.
Aiming your smoke outside is the most common method of smoking indoors.Not only will the smoke have a place to go, you'll also have less issues with the smell.Smoking indoors can be done by standing next to a window, leaning into it, and exhaling the smoke outside.As long as the smoke is getting outside as fast as possible, anything is fine; it depends on the shape, position, and size of the window.If you have a portable fan, put it next to the window.When it's time to exhale, put the fan behind it.The smoke will be thrown outside by the fan's blades.If you are by a window and want to not get caught, you should keep an eye on your surroundings outside.It might look suspicious that you're leaning out your window.Exercise caution and be alert.
Step 7: The risk of picking up the smell of smoke is minimized.
You should keep your hair out of the way.If your hair is long, it's a good idea to tie it back so it doesn't pick up odors.While you're at it, you might want to take off any extra layers of clothing.It's a good idea to minimize what you're wearing before you start smoking.
Step 8: There was smoke.
You can now enjoy your smoke.Don't let anyone come in or see you while you're smoking.If you have a lot of time with the smoke in your hands, you are more likely to be caught.If someone enters the room, you need to quickly discard your cigarette.You might be able to get rid of it without them knowing you were smoking if you're fast and fluid.
Step 9: While you're smoking, be careful.
Keeping both ears alert for sounds in other rooms and footsteps that sound like they're heading to your room is part of this.If it's important that you're not caught, staying alert and on-edge may give you a few seconds extra notice, and those seconds could mean the difference between getting caught and getting away with it.
Step 10: Once you're done, spray an air freshener.
It doesn't hurt to give your room another round of air freshener if you sprayed it before diving into your smoke.The freshener will be the most recent smell in the room and others will have a harder time picking it up.
Step 11: Douse your cigarette with water.
The best way to get rid of your cigarette is through water.If you want to douse the cigarette under the faucet, hold it in your hand.If the ash falls down the drain, it could cause a problem.
Step 12: It's a good idea to clean your ashtray.
The definition of an ashtray depends on where you discarded the ash.A small plate or cup can be used as an ashtray.The ash is gone when you scrub with water and soap.If you dropped the ash out the window, you were smoking.If you make sure the ash doesn't hit the side of the building, this is a good idea.The evidence is very difficult to clean up if you do, as the black trail from your window leading will be a telling sign that you've been smoking.
Step 13: The cigarette should be thrown away.
To get rid of a cigarette, flush it down the toilet.If you've covered the cigarette in toilet paper, there's less chance of it floating back up.If you're careful and worried about being caught, you might want to put the cigarette remains in a bag.You can throw it out in a public trashcan when you go out.
Step 14: You should wash your hands.
Even after the cigarette is gone, you have some things to do to make sure you don't get found out.It is a good idea to wash your hands.It is important to use a lot of soap.It's not enough to wash with hot water.
Step 15: You should brush your teeth.
After smoking, your teeth will smell like your hands.You should brush your teeth for at least two minutes with special attention given to the tongue and gums.If you still have bad breath, eat a spearmint candy or gum.
Step 16: Have a shower.
Smoke will linger on any surface it touches and showering is the most important part of post-smoke hygiene.Don't forget to wash your body thoroughly.As hair picks up smoke, pay special attention to your hair.When you shower, make a note of the arms, legs, and other parts that weren't covered by clothing at the time.A three minute shower is all you need to get rid of the bad smell.
Step 17: You should get into a new set of clothes.
You want to get into new clothes after the shower.Even though you tried to get the smoke outside, some of the smell will still be on your clothing.A fresh pair of pants and shirt is all that is needed.If you don't already, it's a good idea to wash your own laundry.Even days after the fact, someone else might pick up the smell of your clothes.
Step 18: Stay calm.
If you're close with someone, there can be a lot of emotional strain in trying to hide something from them.If you're prone to any sort of anxiety or nervousness, you might find the secret causes a bad reaction if you interact with other people in the house.Remember that you are through the worst of it if you've finished smoking.Other people shouldn't believe you smoked if you followed all of the proper steps.
