The smoke from cigarettes contains in its composition a large amount of carcinogens, which emit a strong odor when in contact with oxygen, when in contact with the mucous membrane. Moreover, to a person who smokes, he may not be noticeable, but those around him feel him very well. And if there is some kind of serious meeting?
Any smoker knows that getting rid of tobacco smell can be very difficult. The fact is that smoke is not only unpleasant for other people, but also penetrates into the mucous membrane, acidity changes, changing the surface of the epithelium, increasing the number of microbes in the oral cavity.
As a result, this not only makes "amber" very persistent, but also increases the risk of developing various diseases.
Products to help get rid of odor
But in addition to special lollipops and gum, you can remove the unpleasant odor using a number of products.
Fruits
You can try to kill the amber from cigarettes with the help of some fruits. Citrus fruits, for example, lemons, grapefruits, help in this most effectively. Moreover, they interrupt the cigarette smell in almost a couple of seconds, acting for a long time.
It is enough to literally eat a slice of lemon or orange. But he eats an important nuance - such an effect can be obtained only when eating pulp and rind.
It is the peel that contains the most acids and essential oils that give aroma.
Coffee beans
Another popular way to deal with nicotine scent. The drink itself is not as effective as the grains, since it does not help to remove 100% of the "amber".
But there are a number of important nuances that you need to remember:
- Do not chew coffee beans. The fact is that this can lead to microdamage to the tooth enamel.
- Better grind some grains to get 0.5 tsp. ground product.
- Chew them for 10-20 seconds, then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
However, you should not use this method too often. Otherwise, dark plaque will begin to appear on the teeth, getting rid of which will be quite problematic.
Sunflower seeds
A good option to escape from unpleasant amber from the mouth. And all due to the large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, which give a pleasant and fairly persistent smell. Just a small handful of seeds is enough to beat even "Prima".
But in order to avoid getting small pieces of seeds stuck between the teeth, it is advisable to rinse your mouth thoroughly after eating them.
By the way, most of the nuts have a similar effect, but it is important to consider that you should be careful with them. First, nuts are very high in calories. Secondly, not all of them are safe. For example, nutmeg contains a lot of toxic acids, which can trigger the development of allergic reactions.
Dried cloves
This spice is used in cooking, as it gives an unusual but tasty flavor to ready-made dishes. And all due to the essential oils contained in the composition. It is enough to chew 1-2 pieces of dried cloves to completely eliminate the smell of smoke.
And if you don't have a clove at hand, you can use one bay leaf - even when dried, it does not lose its aroma.
Ginger
This product has a tart, pungent taste that helps to cope with unpleasant odors. It is enough just to chew a small piece of ginger after smoking a cigarette.
But there is an important point: this product should be used with caution by those who have gastrointestinal problems. The ingredients in ginger root irritate the mucous membranes, which can worsen the symptoms of ulcers or gastritis.
Milk
Surprisingly, it is enough to drink a few sips of milk (or eat good yogurt). The fact is that such products contain milk fats, which absorb molecules of unpleasant amber.
Another advantage of such products is that they help to maintain the necessary microflora of the oral cavities, thereby reducing the risk of bacteria, which lead to unpleasant odor, caries.
What else can help?
In addition, you can additionally use:
- Sprays. It is recommended to use products that do not contain sugar and alcohol - they are more effective and less harmful to the body.
- Chewing gum. A good remedy in the fight against unpleasant odors. However, to enhance the effect, it is advisable to chew two pieces with an interval of 10-15 minutes. Moreover, chewing gum with fruit flavors work better than mint ones.
- Cough drops. Such "sweets" not only help in the fight against sore throat symptoms, but also remove bad breath. It is advisable to buy those that do not contain sugar, since they are safer for tooth enamel
Using any products or special means to combat odor, it is recommended to rinse the mouth with clean water after using them.
But it is worth remembering that even toothpaste, gum or sprays will not give a long-term effect, because after a while the aroma will appear again, coming from the lungs.
