Answers:
You try using frabreeze (sp!?) or something but so long as your house smells like smoke, you are going to have that problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ask your parents could they confine their smoking to one room that is closed off w/good ventilation I know this works quite well cause my wife smokes & I don't anymore!. If that doesn't work then tell them how embarrassed you are by your peers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Move out or tell your parents to stop smoking! Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, if they are smoking around you and in the house, you are going to smell like smoke!. I had the same problem in high school!. My parents both smoke and friends would tell me I smelt like smoke!. It grossed me out and made me feel bad because I would NEVER smoke!.

Anyways, after begging for them to quit smoking, and telling them how much it was affecting me, they finally (after a few "new years resolutions" of trying to quit) deciding that they would start smoking outside!.

When my parents used to smoke in the house, I could never smell the smoke because I was so used to being constantly around it!. Now when my parents come in, I see how much they smell like smoke (so gross!) and I can't believe that is what I used to smell like!.

Ask your parents if they can maybe start smoking outside, or if that is too big of a step, ask them to make a room in your house "the smoking room", like a basement or their bedroom!. You will have to explain how much it affects you and how you do not want smoke on your clothes or in your hair, your skin, etc!. That smoke is going into YOUR lungs and you should have an opinion!. Make sure you don't attack your parents or their habit, I've learned that is NOT the way to get results!. Just explain that people are telling you that you smell and that it hurts your feelings!.

If they don't agree to smoke in a different area of the house, or better yet - outside!, then every time they smoke, YOU should go outside to get the point across that you really don't like it!.

Smoking is a bad habit and very hard to break, so give your parents some time to come around, and to face the fact that their habit is hurting their child!.

Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll need to shower immediately before you leave the house!. This includes washing your hair!. Hair is usually what absorbs the stink the most, so you have to thoroughly wash it out!. Basically, shower, dress, and run out the door!.

And you have to dress in clean clothes that haven't absorbed the smoke!. After your clothes come out of the laundry, you'll need to protect them until you wear them!. Try keeping them in plastic bags!. Zip lock bags for small stuff, and garbage bags for larger clothes!. Make sure everything is well sealed!.

For clothes you wear every day, and are not easily washable, like your shoes or your coat, is there a place outside that you can keep them!? Then you can grab them as you run out the door!.

Pay close attention to your clothes!. After you hair, they're what stinks the most!.
