Smoking indoors is never an ideal choice and, often, it is preferable to do it outdoors.Making sure the smoke reaches the outside can already be difficult, and smoking indoors can become an impossible task if you try to do it secretly.Taking into account the possible consequences, it is rarely worth smoking indoors;however, there are many things you can do to minimize the risks.There are no guarantees that you won't get caught, but with a few tricks you can greatly increase your chances of going unnoticed.Control the smell, direct the smoke outward and hide the evidence as best you can to minimize the risk of being discovered.
-
Consider the time you want to smoke.[1] When smoking indoors, the easiest way to reduce stress and risk is to choose a time when no one can see you.You can light a cigarette when the other tenants have left or when they are sleeping.If the person living with you has the habit of entering your room without warning, it is especially important to choose a quiet time, during which you will not be disturbed.
- Don't let other people breathe secondhand smoke if you care about their health.[2]
-
Make up a good excuse to go out and buy cigarettes. If you leave the house without a good reason you can get caught.If you live with particularly suspicious people, they might decide to snoop into your affairs if they notice your seemingly unmotivated outings.The best way to avoid the problem is to buy cigarettes while doing other ordinary activities, such as work or school.This way, you won't arouse suspicion when you arrive home on time.
-
Hide cigarettes in a safe place. If you live with parents who don't respect your privacy, it's very important to hide cigarettes where they can't find them.Take a look around your room and find a spot where no one would look for cigarettes.Be patient and take as much time as you need to choose a hiding place.
- You should make sure that any intruders can't find your stash, but don't hide it so well that you make too much noise when you retrieve it.If you had to make a lot of noise to get a cigarette, you would attract people to your room!
-
Stay calm when dealing with other people. By keeping something hidden from those who live with you, you can suffer stress, but it is important not to give yourself away.If you're naturally anxious, the stress you're feeling could make anyone watching you realize you're hiding something.At worst, you may appear to be doing things far more serious than smoking indoors.
-
Open a window or vent. Before you start smoking, it is very important to make sure that the smoke has a way out.Otherwise, it would stay in the room and put your health at risk.[3] Whichever room you choose, there should always be a window to open.
- A fireplace hood is the best choice because it is specifically designed to expel smoke.[4]
- It is not advisable to smoke in a room that cannot be ventilated.
-
Place a wet towel against the crack in the door. To ensure that the smoke cannot spread to other parts of the house or building where you are smoking, place a towel (preferably wet) against the door.In this way, the fabric will block the smoke's unwanted exit.
- Wetting the towel offers additional protection against the smoke, but may not be a good idea if you're afraid of getting caught after the fact.The wet area near the door may attract unwanted attention.
-
Turn on a fan or fan.[5] To best prepare for smoking indoors, you need to make sure the room is excellently ventilated.By turning on a fan, the smoke will disperse shortly after it forms.The best choice will vary depending on the type of room you're smoking in, but often a portable fan will suffice if you point it at an open window or vent.
- Some bathrooms have special fans installed that filter the air, sucking in excess moisture and particles.If you have a similar device in your bathroom, turn it on and point it at the smoke to eliminate the smell and residue.
-
Before you start, spread another smell in your room. Although your ultimate goal will be to completely eliminate the smell of smoke, as a temporary solution you can decide to mask it with another, more potent scent.You have many options available to achieve this end;the important thing is to choose the best one for your particular situation.
- The most common method to mask odors is to use an air freshener.[6] These "room scents" spread a light and discreet fragrance, designed to cover other odors in the air.They are cheap and easy to find.If you don't already have one, go to a nearby supermarket to purchase one.Spray it all over the room, making sure not to neglect the ceiling, corners and other places where the smoke could accumulate.
- If you're in the bathroom, you can fill the sink with hot water and then pour some shampoo into it.The fragrances of the shampoo will quickly diffuse into the air, hiding the smell of smoke.
- Incense is another great choice, very effective at masking the unwanted smell of smoke.However, consider that the use of incense can arouse suspicion and that some people find its smell as annoying as that of cigarettes.
-
Direct the smoke out a window.[7] The easiest way to smoke indoors is to find a window and vent the smoke directly outdoors;it will then have a way out and will not produce much unpleasant odor.Try leaning against a window and blowing the smoke outdoors.Choose the most suitable position on the window, which allows you to let the smoke out as soon as possible.
- If you have a portable fan, try keeping it near the window, pointed outward.When you need to blow the smoke, direct it towards the fan, from the back.The movement of the blades will push the smoke out into the open.
- If you're trying not to get caught while smoking at a window, be aware of your surroundings.If someone sees you leaning over the windowsill, they might become suspicious.Be careful and always be vigilant.
-
Minimize the risk of absorbing smoke odor. Keep your hair away from the cigarette.If you have long hair, try tying it up;this way, they will smell less like smoke.
- Also remove as many layers of clothing as you can.Everything you wear will absorb the smell of smoke, so it's a good idea not to bring too much clothing before lighting a cigarette.
-
He smokes. Lastly, enjoy your cigarette.Be careful though, anyone who enters the room will be able to see you smoking.The more time you spend holding a cigarette, the higher your chances of getting caught, so try to keep the experience short.
- Prepare a safe place to throw your cigarette in advance, in case someone enters your room.If you are quick and fluid enough in your movements, you may be able to get rid of the incriminating evidence before the intruder can figure out that you were smoking.
-
Pay attention to your roommates' movements while smoking. Keep your ears open to hear noises coming from other rooms and the possible sound of an intruder's footsteps approaching your door.If not getting caught is your priority, staying alert and alert will give you a few seconds to prepare for someone's arrival;they may be enough to avoid getting caught.
-
Spray with air freshener when you're done.[8] Even if you've already done it before smoking, smelling the room again is never a mistake.This way, the air freshener will be the newest smell in the room and anyone who enters will have difficulty detecting the smell of smoke.
-
Wet the cigarette under cold water.[9] To minimize the smoke produced by a cigarette, the best way to put it out is under water.Hold it in your hand and gently wet it under a tap.Make sure you have a firm grip;if too much ash falls into the drain, it could clog it.
-
Clean out your makeshift ashtray. Take the container where you dropped the cigarette ash, then scrub it with soap and water until it is completely clean.Often, you will find yourself using small plates or glasses.
- If you were smoking outside a window, you probably dropped the ash outdoors.In most cases this is a good solution, but be careful not to allow the ash to hit the wall of the building.If this happened, the black streak running from your windowsill would be evidence that you have been smoking and would be very difficult to clean without being noticed.
-
Throw away the cigarette. The best way to do this is to flush it down the toilet.[10] Before flushing, be sure to cover the cigarette with toilet paper;in this way, it will be less likely that parts of it will resurface.
- If you don't want to take any risks and are worried about being caught while throwing away your cigarette, you could store the butt in an airtight bag.This way, when you go out you can throw the container in a public bin.
-
Wash your hands. Even after you get rid of the cigarette, you still have to take care of some details to ensure you don't get caught.To begin, wash your hands well, using plenty of soap.Hot water alone doesn't make the smoke smell go away.
-
Brush your teeth. After smoking, the smell remains on your teeth as well as your hands.Be sure to brush your teeth for at least two minutes, paying particular attention to your tongue and gums.
- If your breath still smells of smoke, eat a piece of candy or mint gum to remedy the problem.
-
Take a shower. Washing yourself completely is the most important step after smoking, because the smell of smoke permeates every surface it touches.Use a generous dose of shampoo and wash your entire body well.Pay particular attention to your hair, which can absorb a lot of odors.If you usually only focus on your hair when you shower, remember to also clean your arms, legs, and other areas of your body that weren't covered by clothing while you smoked.With the right amount of soap and shampoo, a three-minute shower should be enough to make the cigarette smell go away.
-
Change clothes. Lastly, after taking a shower, put on new clothes.Even if you took great care to blow the smoke out, the smell will still reach your clothes.Changing your shirt and pants should do the trick.
- It's a good idea to take care of your own laundry if you don't already do so.Whoever washes your clothes may smell smoke, even days later.
-
Stay calm. Smoking at home is not a stressful activity, but trying to hide something, especially from a loved one, can place a great emotional burden on you.If you have a tendency to suffer from anxiety or nervousness, secrecy could trigger an unpleasant reaction, especially when you have to interact with the people who live with you again.If you've finished smoking and feel anxious or guilty, remember that you've already gotten through the hardest part.If you have followed all the steps described here, other people should have no reason to think that you have smoked!
Advice
- If you live in a situation that forces you to smoke indoors regularly, consider purchasing a hookah.The vapor-based hookah system does not produce any bad odor or smoke, which is why many people have adopted it to circumvent anti-smoking laws. [11]
Warnings
- Just because you can Smoking indoors doesn't mean you should.The people who live with you might get very angry if they found out about you.Smoking indoors poses health risks.Consider the potential consequences before trying to smoke without getting caught and decide if it's worth it.
- Also consider that by smoking indoors, you can cause negative effects on those who live with you.In addition to producing a bad smell, smoke damages the lungs of those who breathe it, discolors the walls and causes many other negative effects for the home and the people who live in it.Smoking at home from time to time is understandable, but try to be polite, understanding and not make a habit of doing so.
