hello, i'm new to this forum and i'm definitely a closet smoker. not amongst friends, but i'm always trying to hide it from my family and from my clients. i walk around w/ cinnamint gum, hand cream, lip balm to cover up smells. I have febreeze spray for my clothes, air freshener plug-ins in my apt. i never let any family members come over and always say, "my place is a real mess, so i don't want you coming up."
So, one of the big things about smoking for me is the smell... as a closet smoker, i spend so much time and mental energy on covering up the smell. It really is a big energy-drain and I don't like how hiding the fact that I smoke really takes up energy where I could put it to better use.
Just thought I'd share that with all of you...
