Why do some cigarettes reek, while others smell rather nice?

Question

Which brands do you find app(e)alling?

Answer 1

it depends on the tobacco and the paper used. i always find that the ready-made brands like marlboro really kick out some acrid smoke, but the hand-rolled ones are much more palatable. when i was a smoker (my halcyon days..) i used to like amber leaf - although this is a brand available in the uk, i'm not sure if it's available in the u.s. i also knew someone who used licorice papers and they were great. if you want a really nice-smelling tobacco (just realised how much flak i'm going to get for this answer) then try a peach rolling tobacco which doesn't make the room stink, either. alternatively you could give up smoking and smell some fresh cut grass or new baked bread...y'know...

Answer 2

Commercial air fresheners only mask odors with an artificial scent and don't provide a long-term solution. Instead, try to neutralize the odors.To neutralize the smoke smell, place saucers of white vinegar around the house. Leave it in the room overnight or for several days, preferably with the room closed off. Then thoroughly air out the house. The odor may have also seeped into the second layer of carpeting, which is tough to get rid of. To remove the smell from the carpet, sprinklle with a mixture of 1 cup Borax and 2 cups cornmeal, wait an hour, and then vacuum. If the odor has really sunk in and these tricks don't help, then the smoke residuals need to literally be washed off. I know you've already painted your walls, but you should wash them anyway. For painted walls and ceilings, try a solution of 1 gallon of warm water, 1/2 cup plain ammonia, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 1/4 cup washing soda (which can be found in the laundry additives area of supermarkets). Refresh this solution frequently while washing, and you won't need to rinse. Start at the bottom of a wall and work your way up. Combining all of these steps should definitely do the trick. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

Umm...I've been smoking for a long time now and I can't even remember what cigarettes actually smell like...only when people b*tch at me or if I take a whiff of myself in some smoke nazi's apartment.

I do like the smell of pot and cloves though. Hate the smell of cigars.

I'm a Parliament/Camel Light man, who occasionally has an affair with Marlboro Lights...they all smell like sh*t though apparently.

Answer 4

I'm a smoker and I think they all stink especially clove cigarettes.

Mary Jane cigs smell pretty good to me though.

Answer 5

I've never known a pleasant smelling ciggie in my lifetime, especially as it's secondhand smoke I'm breathing.

Answer 6

Clove cigarettes smell OK.

Answer 7

It could be the quality of tobacco used in the cigarette, but I don't really know, go buy a "Cigar Afficionado".

Oh, and I don't smoke.

Answer 8

All cigarettes smell disgusting.

Answer 9

iam a non-smoker..i have found that foreign brands smell stronger than american versions..such as my neighbor who smokes turkish blended cigs..aweful smell..although the clove ones smell ok..but all in all, second hand smoke kills..i wear a mask by golly

Answer 10

It depends on the cigarette because of the different types of tobacco and ingredients, I prefer Marlboro
