I have mentioned before that a family member living with me smokes. She smokes outside just like I did when I smoked. Anyway, the smell is driving me nuts. I'm hoping I become desensitized to it over time, but what's the deal with that? Was I so seriously nose blind that I didn't realize I (and you) smelled that way? She'll walk by and the fragrance wafts through the air as she passes. I'll go in the bathroom after she's been in there and smell it. I smell her jacket when it's on the back of the chair. When I'm doing my mile walk out back, I can smell it when she comes on her deck to have a cig (upstairs).
How did I ever think my husband didn't know when I "snuck" a cigarette? He had to smell it.
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. I guess I should be happy it grosses me out instead of tempts me.

You might try putting a bit of Vicks under your nose to cover up the odor. I would ask that she keep her jacket in her room - and any clothing she wears when she smokes. I hope she is not smoking in the bathroom?
Yeah - we STUNK - and the sensitivity to the smell doesn't go away when we quit, I'm afraid. Glad it's not tempting, at least
(and all those folks who thought they were "closet smokers" were deceiving themselves. EVERYBODY who didn't smoke knew).
