Why is the cigarette smell so corrosive

A heavy smoker can always be detected by an unpleasant smell. It impregnates clothing, skin and hair, and makes bad breath. It is especially dangerous for people prone to allergies. Continuous inhalation of the cigarette smell can lead to an exacerbation of the disease and even bronchial asthma. And non-smokers feel discomfort and endanger their health next to a person who emanates a stable tobacco amber. According to the testimony of doctors, those living with a smoker are more likely to catch colds or catch respiratory viruses.

Cigarette smoke is dangerous for both the smoker and others, especially allergy sufferers

The smell of cigarettes is very persistent, and the reason lies in the composition of the tobacco mixture. The additives used during combustion form tar or tar, which are deposited on surfaces together with smoke and nicotine. They are the source of persistent odor. Another reason is dryness of the mucous membrane, which is aggravated by smokers. The smoke penetrates the mucous membrane, changes its microflora and promotes the growth of bacteria in the mouth. Resins are deposited on the teeth, tongue, inner surface of the cheeks. By smoking a pack (or more) of cigarettes a day, getting rid of the smell becomes more and more difficult. If you do not take action, it is felt for two hours, and completely disappears within two days. There are ways to help speed up the process. Some of them only drown out the smell, others allow you to eliminate it completely.

Drink fluids and rinse your mouth frequently to reduce the effects of smoking and prevent unpleasant odors.

The best way is hygiene. Water and detergents will help remove odors from hair, skin, and mouth. There are other ways as well.

How to get fresh breath back

1. If you are at home, brush your teeth. Pay attention also to the inner surface of the cheeks, gums, palate and tongue. Even if there is no paste, a brush dampened with water will remove most of the unpleasant odor.
2. Rinse out your mouth. It's okay if you carry mouthwash with you, but clean water will do.
3. Fruit gum will also help. The more aromatic it is, the better. The method is universal, because the gum is always at hand, it does not take up much space. But don't use mint or menthol, it will only intensify the smell and add unpleasant nuances. In addition, the mixture of menthol and nicotine is dangerous to health.

4. Lollipops Antipolitsay. They do not mask the smell, but remove it completely. They contain biologically active ingredients that increase the absorption of molecules - carriers of the unpleasant odor of the mucous membrane. It is useful to have them with you.

5. Refreshing sprays can be used. But, according to user reviews, not all of them effectively and permanently get rid of the smell. It is worth choosing sprays for smokers with an anti-tobacco effect. They are specially designed to combat this problem.

12. Sunflower seeds and nuts help.
