Why do his clothes always smell of smoke?

Don’t they get washed/aired?

I don’t like the smell of smoke myself - one my my colleagues reeks of it when she comes back from a cigarette break, but it does then fade and I don’t feel strongly enoght to say anything to her (plus I like her so wouldn’t want to upset her).

However, it does bother some people more, so she is entitled to say something about it.

Personal hygiene is important in the workplace. Smelling of anything (smoke, BO, pets, overstong perfume or aftershave) might bother your colleagues, especially if they are sensitive to smells/asthmatic etc.

I think the answer is to erdicate the smell, not try to ‘fix’ the woman.

Otherwise, your husband could speak to his manager and let him know he feels the woman is approaching the issue in a rude way and let the manager mediate.

avoid smoking before class, get some febreeze(or something similar, it eliminates stench from clothing supposedly), talk about it like adults(rather than ‘telling her off’), ignore it(other than whining what is she going to do?), stay as far away from her as possible when in class or lab, DO take a change of clothing and change before. just a few suggestions.

What is in the ‘lab’ that he needs to use first thing in the morning? How small is the lab anyhow? I would think they could work far enough apart that they never get within whiff distance. And other than talking with the teacher of the class or discussing it human to human I’ don’t think there is anything that can be done. Perhaps buy her some painters face masks…??

Sorry, I didn’t read the post properly so my reply refers to the workplace - same applies though, and yes, he would speak to the lecturer, not the manager!

All that sounds very strange.

Your husband goes still to school as a student? Who is this “we”?

And I’ve never ever heard about a smell of smoke on the clothing, which can be that strong — except after a whole day of barbecue!
I’m a smoker myself, but my clothes don’t smell that much that somebody could be bothered about.

Is this a troll post?

One of the least interesting or entertaining troll posts, if so!!
