Have to say, my OH does that - sucks on mints and I think he thinks it stops the smoke smell. It doesn't matter how clean the clothes are, the smell doesn't go away.

Kissing a smoker, mints or not is like kissing an ashtray. _pale_

I know......but he doesn't kiss me often, but that is a different story altogether!

Its just you reminded me about it. I haven't kissed a smoker for many many years and would refuse to kiss one.

Smokers should be encouraged to join the workforce. They add to the pension pot but take less out.

I've worked with people who pop out for a fag, and then have a mint. They smell so bad it makes me gag. Smoke by all means, but not near me, do it in your own house.

I used to smoke, I gave up ten years ago and am so glad I did. It repulses me now. And it really does stink, even if you can;t smell it on yourself.
