The smoke of cigarettes and marijuana has a characteristic unpleasant odor that can draw attention to you. While smoking indoors is never the ideal option, it is sometimes better to smoke outdoors. If you find it worthwhile to trade the risk of being discovered, there are many things you can do to reduce this risk, including smoking in the bathroom, removing smoke, using chimneys, and disposing of evidence properly.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Smoking in the bathroom

1. 

   Use a towel to seal the gap at the foot of the door. To prevent smoke from escaping through the doorway, roll a towel and insert it in front of the opening at the base of the door. Make sure the towel extends from one end to the other end of the door and press against the gap.

2. 

   
   
   Open the shower. Bathing is a good reason to stay in the bathroom for a long time, the steam will mix with cigarette smoke and help fight bad odors. The sound of the shower will also overwhelm the sound of you hitting a match or the sound of smoking and smoke.
   • It is recommended that you play music on your phone for an extra layer of sound protection.
   • You have to take a real shower to avoid suspicion (or at least wet your hair to look like you've just showered).

3. 

   
   
   Swing the smoke out or into a vent if possible. While you are smoking, be sure to ferry the smoke out a window or into a vent. Check the outside of your window to make sure no one can see the smoke coming from you.

4. 

   
   
   Shampoo. If you have time to bathe yourself, make sure to use soap to wash your hair.The fragrance of soap will quickly spread throughout the room and overwhelm the smell of cigarette smoke.
   • You can also pour some shampoo into the tub and turn on hot water if you don't have time to wash your hair.

5. 

   Flush the ash or other evidence. After you have finished smoking, make sure to clear the pipe or toss the leftover cigarette in the toilet and rinse. Check the bathroom one last time to make sure there are no ashes on the floor or anything that could tell others you smoke.

6. 

   Use room sprays to hide any lingering smoke scent. Try to find fragrances with a strong fragrance to neutralize the unpleasant smokiness. Spray plenty of perfume before you leave the bathroom.
   • If you don't have room sprays on hand, you can also use men's or women's body sprays. Spray perfume on and around the bathroom.

Part 2 of 4: Smoking in the bedroom

1. 

   Cover your hair. Hair is quite spongy and tends to hold odor better than skin. Tie your hair behind your head and cover it with bandana or towel to prevent smoke from getting into your hair.
   • If you have a plastic shower cap it is ideal as the plastic can protect your hair while not retaining the smoke smell by itself.

2. 

   Protect clothes. The more clothes you wear, the more the smell of smoke lingers on you. Consider going topless when smoking, or at least roll up your sleeves.
   • You should also reserve a jacket to wear when you smoke. You can hide it somewhere in the room and wear it when you need a smoke. Be sure to wash this shirt at least once a week so it doesn't smell bad.

3. 

   Burn incense or scented candles. You need something to drown out the smoke, so try burning a few incense sticks or a scented candle. If you don't have incense or candles, spray the perfume around the room before and after you start smoking.

4. 

   Do not let smoke escape through the slot under the door. To prevent smoke from escaping your bedroom, place a damp washcloth along the slot under the bedroom door. Damp towels not only prevent smoke from escaping, but also help absorb part of the cigarette smell.

5. 

   Open the window. Find a way to get as much smoke out as you can. If smoke cannot escape through windows or pipes, it will leave odors on walls, carpets, furniture and fabrics.
   • If there's a heater pipe in the room, that's fine. Fireplaces are designed to draw smoke out of the house, so it is easier to remove smoke from the room if there is a fireplace duct in the room.

6. 

   Use a fan to blow the smoke out. The better ventilation the room is, the lower the chance you'll be found smoking. Turn on the fan to push the smoke toward the window, helping to disperse the smoke after you release it. Ideally, use a desktop fan and direct the airflow out the window.
   • If you smoke in a bathroom with exhaust fans or ventilation equipment, turn on the fan and send the smoke in to allow the smoke to escape quickly. This specialized device will absorb excess moisture and smoke out.

7. 

   Handling residual smoke smell. Even if you always draw smoke out of the room every time you smoke, your body is more likely to retain the smell of smoke. There are several ways you can deal with the smell of smoke that stays on your body.
   • For example, you can apply some face cream to your fingertips, peel and eat an orange, or use a body spray with a strong smell.

Part 3 of 4: Using a chimney filter

1. 

   Prepare necessary supplies. From now on you start to keep the toilet paper core and have a box of scented paper ready to use when smoking cigarettes. You will stuff the scented tissue into the toilet paper core and blow the smoke through it so the smoke smells like scented paper.
   • You can use a bottom cut soda bottle to replace the toilet paper core. This is great because the bottle has been made to mouth size.

2. 

   Stick three to four sheets of fragrant paper into the tube. Try to spread the sheets evenly from one end to the other so the smoke has to pass through the fragrant paper. If you make a chimney filter out of a soda bottle, use six to seven sheets of scented paper.

3. 

   Release the smoke into the filter tube. After you take a breath, bring one end of the chimney over your mouth and ferry the smoke in. Try to blow all the smoke into the pipe. When the smoke came out to the other end it smelled like paper towels.
   • If you don't know how to make a chimney, just blow the smoke into a water-soaked towel, t-shirt or cloth. Wet material will absorb smoke and smoke odors. Be sure to use a cloth you don't use often and wash it as soon as you smoke.

Part 4 of 4: Destruction of evidence

1. 

   Put out the fire on the leftover cigarette or pipe. If you have finished smoking but the leftover cigarette or the pipe is still burning, you should put it out immediately. The best way to put a cigarette out is to rub it in an ashtray or soak it in water.
   • To put out the fire in a cigarette, just stop smoking and it will turn off after a few minutes. You can also cover the cigarette with your hand (if it is not too hot) and the fire will go out due to lack of oxygen. If the cigarette is too hot, add a few drops of water.
   • To put out a cannabis cigarette, you can rub it against an ashtray or drip water on a burning head. Be careful not to wet the whole cigarette to avoid damaging the rest.

2. 

   Clean the ashtray. If you use a plate, cup or jar to make an ashtray, be sure to clean it with hot water and a little soap until there is no ash left.
   • If you use an empty can or something disposable, just throw it away. Remember to throw it under the trash so that no one can see it. You should also clean the ash receptacle before you throw it away to prevent the smell of the medicine from spreading.

3. 

   Destroying evidence. The easiest way to dispose of ashes or leftover cigarette butts is to throw it in the toilet and flush. Wrap cigarettes in toilet paper to reduce the chance of ashes and excess tobacco from emerging.
   • If you are not comfortable throwing away evidence in the toilet bowl, you can wrap the ashes and / or the residue in a plastic bag and throw the evidence in the public trash when you go out.

4. 

   Remove any remaining smoke or smoke odors. After you smoke, cigarette smells can still remain on your hands, breath, and clothes. Washing your hands, brushing your teeth, bathing and changing clothes will help remove the lingering cigarette smell.
   • Hand washing. Wash your hands with plenty of soap after you have finished smoking. Just washing your hands with hot water is not enough to eliminate the smell of smoke. If you can't get into the bathroom right away, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
   • Brush teeth. Your teeth and breath retain the smell of cigarette smoke after you smoke. Remember to brush your teeth for at least two minutes and focus on your tongue and gums. You can also use mouthwash or eat mint-flavored gum to clean your breath.
   • Take a shower. Smoke stays on any body part it touches, so a shower is essential after you smoke. Use plenty of soap, shampoo and shower gel, and pay close attention to your hair as that is where the most smoke is retained.
   • Change clothes. After bathing, you should wear a new set of clothes. Even if you carefully guide the smoke out, the smell of smoke still lingers on your clothes. You must wash the changed clothes yourself to avoid being noticed by others.

Advice

• After brushing your teeth, apply lotion on your hands to deodorize the smoke.
• Use an air sanitizer to spray the room where you smoke. You can even buy a dedicated odorless room spray to deodorize cigarettes.
• Replace the scented paper in the chimney filter after smoking five cigarettes. Even if the paper is fragrant, you should replace it, the new paper with a strong fragrance will help remove the smoky smell better.
• Cover the smoke detector with plastic wrap until the cigarette smoke has dissipated. Be sure to remove the plastic bag after you have finished handling the smoke.

Warning

• Do not try to smoke in a prohibited place, like an airplane restroom or courtroom. You can get past people but not smoke detectors, resulting in a fine or even jail time.
• Do not spray aerosol products near a burning cigarette or open flame as they are easily ignited.
