Can the smell of cigarette smoke seap through your skin pours?

Question

My g/f tells me that even after I have had a shower and am all nice and sparkly clean, she can still faintly smell cigarette smoke on me. She says that people who smoke tend to have the smell seap out through their skin pours.

Is there any truth behind this?

Answer 1

Yes.
I'd have to say its because your body is working hard to get rid of the chemicals from the cigarettes by sending the waste products out through your skin, which is the largest organ of your body. Even after a shower your body is still working to get rid of the bad stuff that you keep putting in it.

Answer 2

Yes, the smoke from a burning cigarette can seap through your pores. It is no different than sitting in a sauna with the steam. Especially if you are in a warm climate or it is summer and humid. I'm an ex-smoker and I can still feel the affects from the smoking. I had the problem mostly with bad breath. Just as your g/f has told you, the smell from smoking is still with you even after you shower bathe, take breath mints, etc. One thing is though is that if and when you quit smoking your lungs begin clean themselves out almost immediately.

Answer 3

Yes, actually. It's called Eau de Euro available in either Toilette or Parfum. The parfum version is obviously of higher quality but can be obtained as easily as the toilette version. Another difference is that the parfum smells like clove cigarettes, while the toilette smells like cigars. Each scent attracts two different types of women - toilette: strippers, "street pro's," and table dancers; parfum: newage hippies, goths, and MILFs. Eau de Euro can be purchased in European countries only, as the U.S. has not made any tobacco scented perfumes. Try France.

Answer 4

You know the saying, "You are what you eat"? In reality, you are what you eat, imbibe, and inhale.

It definitely remains in your hair, even after washing. My ex only smoked 1 or 2 cigarettes a day, but he was around a lot of smokers, and his hair smelled awful even just after he scrubbed it with shampoo.

Answer 5

Yeah smoked for years 34 to be honest.

Answer 6

If you ask me, cigarette smoke can seep through anything and anywhere.

You should consider quitting.

Answer 7
