any way to hide my smoking habits (tobacco) from my parents would be appreciated. So far all I do is eat chewing-gum and put some lynx on.

Also, tips for hiding my weed-symptoms (even though I don't smoke it that often).

Roll up your sleeves when you're smoking so they don't smell like smoke.

have something, like a sweater or something, that you smoke in.

if you have long hair it's gonna stick, tobacco lingers and sticks to cloths and hair much more than weed, so cut it with a rusty womens razor (or wear a ponytail)

try not to display any habits like smokers cough or not being able to run that good, or whatever people usually stereotype with smoking.

gum of course, uh thats pretty much it. not much to hiding any habbits, oh and make sure not to leave lighters or cigs around of course.

for weed: again something to wear over but it's not necessary,
gum and eyedrops,
walk around for 5-10 minutes afterwards
then LIGHTLY spritz on some whatever you want old spice, axe or whatever. i personally don't use anything as the walk usually takes care of it (don't have to walk just sitting is good if theres a breeze) and as far as smell you're good to go.

open you eyes slightly, because most likely they're drooping.

wash you hands or any parts that smell

don't act like an idiot, just say what you normally do, act like yourself. should'nt be too hard.

nothing really to it man, you don't really get caught unless you want to, or if you **** up, or if your not to bright.

any questions yo?

If your parents aren't the kind that would stop you talking to someone ever again, try to engineer it so that they see one of your friends smoking. This is the scapegoat tactic.

Done and done :) (dont have long hair).

Can't run that good anyway, and I never really feel the need to cough more than usual.

Hmm thanks, I'll have to look around for eyedrops, never thought about that.

Hmm OK, I'll have to try to walk it off on the way home. Also my mom has really sensitive smell and smells weed really easily (pointed out my sisters friend smoked weed when i could hardly smell anything). I guess I'll carry some lynx bullet or something.

Will do :)

wash you hands or any parts that smell

Yeah I usually do that, and clean my teeth (after a cigarette).

don't act like an idiot, just say what you normally do, act like yourself. should'nt be too hard.

Yeah I'll try, and I'll probably just go straight to my room too, so she doesn't notice anything. She doesn't really notice anything funny about me, like when I got pissed and came back a bit tipsy I just went upstairs and lay down for a bit.

Nope, thanks for the wall of advice :)
Now I just need to find a good place to hide my stash :O

Would do but she would ask to smell my breath etc, and because of her sense of smell chewing gum wouldnt hide it too well.

mostly I'd say have a spare shirt or something with you if you've got to see your parents right after smoking. Some clothes that won't smell like weed or tobacco at least

the simplest thing to do is to try and get the wind to blow the smoke away from you

also, get a cigarette holder to help minimize the smell on your hands

Shit scarecrow what is up with your sig?

1. Take off your shirt when you're smoking, no homo.

2. Leave a several hour gap after you finish your final cig and before you see your parents.

3. Wear a jumper or jacket while smoking, and dump it at your friend's place afterwards.

4. Try not to let too much of the smoke hit you/

5. Shave your head so the smoke won't stain in your hair.

+Many many other creative ways to hide your horrible smoking habits from your parents.

Seriously though, the best way to break your addiction and still enjoy a smoke now and then is to store your ciggies at your friends' place, and smoke one everytime you visit them. Carrying your own pack will make it harder for you not to get addicted. But whatever. Marijuana beats nicotine anyday.

Smoke with gloves.

1. Not taking my shirt off in public.
2. Sometimes not possible, may only be going out for an hour etc.
3. No.

But thanks for all the advice, I think what I'm doing will work now.

But another problem, Weed seems to effect me very little. Nearlly 3/4 a spliff and I didn't feel much different, whilst my mate was pretty stoned from that 1/4.

That several hour gap is also really really unnecessary. If you're careful enough, you can talk to them two minutes after smoking and they won't notice.

Aw shit man I'm really sorry about that. You sure you're doing it correctly? Try to hold in the smoke your lungs as DEEEEP as you can, and for as long as you can, until you feel the energy creeping up your brain. Otherwise, just smoke more of it. You can't miss out on ganja man.
