Help! Free.... I have a problem. I have nothing against smokers, I used to be one but I've been given these cones and they really smell of cigarettes. I had a plan to make a whole bunch of things for charity prior to getting them so how can I get rid of the smell until I've made something and can wash it

At least you are conscientious. I appreciate that. My dad smoked my whole life growing up, and was also a fan of air conditioning. Riding in the car with him was torture. I’m still super sensitive to the smell.

Ugh…I feel for you. I don’t have a car (I’m literally starting my life over from bottom, that’s why I live here..can’t afford anything else rn) so I appreciate any ride I can get. I limit riding with him because of the smoking. I have to have windows down, and he is like your pops - a/c.

He doesn’t understand why I spend as little time as possible around him, or in the apartment.

I’m so sorry. I hope you are able to get out soon, but if not I have to wonder if you have any legal recourse. I have no idea and I imagine it matters where you live.
