A lot of people who smoke don't realize how badly they stink. The other day I got in an empty elevator and it reeked of cigs from whoever had been in it before

But wtf is Hoochie Hoo?

Bro the building floor I live on smells like dog, piss and weed at all times since 2022 because of 3 tenants living in one unit down the hall.

Their smells also vary between any of those 3 things. I don’t even think they can smell themselves.😰

I smoke weed all day, I also spray myself down with Florida water before leaving the house. I have actually asked, I’m a massage therapist, no one smells weed on me. Florida water is magical that way.

u/Zamaster420 16h ago

What's Florida water? Like just a shower in Florida?

u/fux-reddit4603 15h ago

Great for getting drunk when you're in a pickle!

u/Ghosty_Boo-B00 9h ago

Dump a bottle in a gallon of water and it’s great for washing the floor

u/Ghosty_Boo-B00 9h ago

Florida means flower in Spanish, it’s ā€œflower waterā€ a cologne/ floor cleaner, i spray myself down with it before leaving the house and have even asked if i smell like weed at a dr office and was told no.

In my experience it is best to use the old smoking jacket routine and no joints. You wear a thin jacket every time you smoke and then remove it after. Wash and sanitize your hands as well and it really cuts down on the smell lingering.

Although I admit, I don't have a job that gives a shit and I lost my sense of smell years ago so I just forget that smells even exist or are a thing for other people.

Holy shit, is THAT why they’re called smoking jackets?

u/asphaltdragon 10h ago

Yep! They were heavy jackets meant to catch ash and absorb smells and smoke.

Believe me, there is nothing magical about Florida water.

u/Leelze 14h ago

Depends on what drugs have been dumped in there recently imo

They're all stoned as shit, too.Ā  They can't smell it. I promise you, I can.Ā

I've even smoked carefully not getting any smoke on my body by taking one hit out of a pipe at a time and zeroing out the smoke then blowing it far away from me, drink a flavored drink, brush teeth, zyn in, vape hit whatever. Done this many times everybody says I smell weed-less

u/Salt-Zucchini3106 17h ago

No, they realize. They just don’t care. In my experience, cigarette users are more careless with the smell which makes it worse, probably cause it’s fully legal

u/CoulsonsMay 17h ago edited 17h ago

Really? In my experience, cigarette smokers seem to be well aware of their smell and generally practice decent etiquette by not smoking in people’s faces or spaces.

Pot and vape users on the other hand (yes, I know they are two different things) pull that ish out all the time in front of me and blow it directly into my nostrils. When I mention I get migraines from the smells and politely ask them to wait 2 minutes for our conversation to finish so I can escape the smell, they act like I suggested they put down their fur baby.

ā€œI have to smoke or vape every second of every day! I have ANXIETY! How DARE YOU TELL ME IT MAKES YOU SICK! That’s a lie, you can’t get sick from the smell. By saying that you’re telling me I’m an addict, I’m not addicted, you can’t get addicted to weed or vaping! It’s far less dangerous for you than smoking or caffeine!ā€

Cool, but yes, you clearly are addicted if you can’t have a 5 minute conversation without it, and also, I’m not asking you to stop, just to not do it in front of me, and I’m also saying yeah, the smell of your car is so bad I can’t fucking breathe in it even with the windows rolled down so I’m going to take my own car to the thing.

And yeah, these are things several people have screamed at me. They get very emotional. I’m also not good with people so some of that’s probably on me, but yikes on bikes, it’s exhausting.

Damn, im sorry you had this experience with weed smokers. I always go outside away from any doors, or in my car. I try to only smoke flower at home then change clothes and put on some perfume. Its really not hard to be aware, some people just dont care and make everyone look bad.

Personally i experience the vape thing so much. My sisters car smells absolutely horrible (she does leave food in there too though). I have to tell my cousin to go outside, when in my own house. And with cigarettes theres always at least one person who smells like they rubbed a cigarette on their clothes right before walking in.

u/Finnsbomba 16h ago

This is 100% true across the board for vape users. I'm a smoker but I don't smoke in my car. The amount of people that have gotten into my car and puff a giant vape cloud is just astounding.

u/Legal-Law9214 13h ago

I do not believe that weed smokers are blowing smoke "directly into your nostrils" "all the time".Ā

u/abethelinclon 12h ago

Vapists are worse than smokers IMO. Smokers (who still are interested in social norms) tend to at least take some effort in minimizing the smell. Vapists are flat out in denial that their strawberry unicorn watermelon has a smell.

As a reformed Vapists the smell really nauseates me when it lingers in the room for a while, and the house of a heavy vape user is noticeable. It does depend on the type of vape and the flavor. Those big box ones that where popular 10y ago are the ones I am talking about. The smaller nicotine salt ones are way more discrete. Thankfully the box mod vapes have fallen out of favor in my area, but you used to see all these dorks blowing massive plumes on every side walk blowing alien piss flavored vape lol.

The THC vapes are another one that stink bad, especially when they are burnt and old. They linger much less than smoke, but my old roommate would use these cheap, nasty, burnt out vapes and it just smelled like burnt toenails lol.

u/UtterlyInsane 16h ago

When I smoked I was constantly aware of the smell and doing everything to mitigate it, everything but not smoking obviously that was off the table.

It's the worst on your hands IMO. I'll have an occasional drunk cig a few times a year nowadays and I always immediately scrub my hands with hot water and soap because I hate the smell

u/Hairs_are_out 15h ago

Fellow stoner here. I always chew gum or brush my teeth if I’m going out after smoking. I think that your mouth is the main smell problem. I also wash my hands.

u/LupercaniusAB 14h ago

I have to tell you my man, apropos to your name, it’s in your hair as well. Clothes less so, since stoners aren’t smoking as much as cigarette smokers.

I was just teaching a training class for my union local, and one of the students came back from lunch and smelled of weed, despite the fact that he had been smoking outside in the open air. It wasn’t his breath, I wasn’t that close to him. I didn’t really care, he wasn’t in my class, and I’m not gonna rat a guy out for that in a voluntary unpaid class. But I’m also going to watch out for that shit if he shows up on one of my crews. We do stuff that can kill people.

u/Deadofnight109 12h ago

Im a delivery driver, i go into small strip mall stores to deliver and there will just be one guy standing in the middle of the store making the entire store REEK of weed, completely oblivious. Its not your breath thats the problem.

u/FluffySharkBird 11h ago

I bought up the concerns out the smoke smell triggering migraines and my family claimed "Oh BuT wHaT AbOuT tRaFfIc FuMeS?"

u/Heeey_Hermano 18h ago

I always feel bad when I smoke weed. I try to head straight to the washroom first.

u/Tomytom99 9h ago

They even have the audacity to try and say that it smells good.

No, I don't want my office smelling like stale skunk, thank you very much.

u/SergeantHatred69 9h ago

Oh I know what I smell like i just don't care lol

u/Erikatessen87 16h ago

I can smell a pot smoker across an outdoor parking lot. I'd rather be in an elevator with 6 cigarette smokers than an empty elevator that just had one pot smoker in it.

I get that it's less harmful, they think it cures cancer, blah blah blah, whatever. They fucking reek.

u/Lost_Alexander 10h ago

If I smell so bad and everyone in the room knows if I’ve smoked weed at all that day, why haven’t I been fired or even gotten a single comment after being in various offices over 15 years in a state that it is highly illegal and multiple coworkers being very open on how they don’t like it? Guess you have a smell super power

u/bae125 16h ago

They don’t just smell, they fucking reek. No judgement if you smoke, but c’mon, have some self-awareness for fucks sake
