How to get cigarette smell out of memory foam pillow?

I have one of those memory foam pillows that can’t be washed with water (and is really expensive to replace). I made the mistake of taking it when I was staying with someone who smoked, and now it reeks of cigarette smoke. Any ideas of how to get rid of it (I’m afraid that spraying it with Febreez may ruin it, since I’m pretty sure I’m not even supposed to get it wet).

Ills of Cigarette Smoking

The commonly used term cigarette refers to a tobacco cigarette but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder for the purpose of inhalation of its smoke from the other end, which is inserted in the mouth. There are many different tobacco cultivars which are made into a wide variety of mixtures and brands. Tobacco is often sold flavored, often with various fruit aromas, something which is especially popular for use with water pipes.

A considerable percentage of the adult population in many countries has tried smoking with smaller minorities doing it on a regular basis. Since cannabis is illegal or only tolerated in most jurisdictions, there is no industrial mass-production of cigarettes, meaning that the most common form of smoking is with hand-rolled cigarettes or with pipes. Rates of cigarette smoking vary widely. While rates of smoking have leveled off or declined in the developed world, they continue to rise in the undeveloped world.



The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies; as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals. After the European exploration and conquest of the Americas, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown. The cultural perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another; holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar and deadly health hazard. Only recently, and primarily in industrialized Western countries, has smoking come to be viewed in a decidedly negative light.

Cigarette smoke contains cancer-causing substances called carcinogens. Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer and emphysema (a serious disease of the lungs). People who smoke are also at increased risk for developing other cancers, heart disease, and chronic lung ailments. Cigarette smoke is called mainstream smoke when it is inhaled directly from a cigarette. Side stream smoke is smoke that is emitted from a burning cigarette and exhaled from a smoker’s lungs. Side stream smoke is also called environmental tobacco smoke or secondhand smoke. Passive smoking, or the inhaling of secondhand smoke by nonsmokers, is believed to be responsible for about 3,000 lung cancer deaths per year. Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke also have a greater chance of suffering from respiratory disorders.

Over 4,000 different chemicals have been found to be present in cigarette smoke. Many of these are carcinogenic, or capable of causing changes in the genetic material of cells that can lead to cancer. Cigarette smoke contains nicotine, addictive chemical and carcinogenic tars. In addition, smoking produces carbon monoxide, which has the effect of decreasing the amount of oxygen in the blood. When cigarette smoke is inhaled, the chemicals contained in it are quickly absorbed by the lungs and released into the bloodstream. From the blood, these chemicals pass into the brain, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscle, and fat tissue. In pregnant women, cigarette smoke crosses the placenta and may affect development of the fetus.

There is a strong relationship between the lengths of time a person smokes; the number of cigarettes a person smokes each day, and the development of smoking-related diseases. Simply put, the more one smokes, the more one is likely to suffer ill effects. Cigarette smoke weakens blood vessel walls and increases the level of cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to atherosclerosis (a disease in which fatty material is deposited in the arterial walls). It can cause the coronary arteries to narrow, increasing the risk of heart attack due to impaired blood flow to the heart. Smoking also increases the risk of stroke (a blood clot or rupture in an artery of the brain).

In addition to lung cancer, smoking can cause cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, esophagus, stomach, cervix, and bladder. Drinking alcohol while smoking causes 75 percent of all mouth and throat cancers. People who have a tendency to develop cancer because of hereditary factors may develop the disease more quickly if they smoke. Smoking is the leading cause of lung disease in the United States and results in deaths from pneumonia, influenza, bronchitis, emphysema, and chronic airway obstruction. Smoking increases mucus production in the lungs and destroys cilia, the tiny hair like structures that normally sweep debris out of the lungs.



The nicotine in cigarette smoke causes the release of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. When the level of dopamine in the brain is increased, a person experiences feelings of extreme pleasure and contentment. In order to sustain these feelings, the level of nicotine in the body must remain constant; a smoker becomes dependent on the good feelings caused by the release of dopamine and thus becomes addicted to nicotine. The well-proven health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on tobacco products and anti-smoking campaigns are launched every year in an attempt to curb smoking. Several countries, states and cities have also imposed smoking bans in most public buildings.

OK, Fred goes into a cigarette shop (I think??), and takes a pack of already-opened cigarettes from a salesman named Rocky!! Rocky fingers the filter end of the cigarette (with BOTH hands!!), then sticks it in Fred’s mouth!! Then Fred walks out with the pack of opened (and fingered) cigarettes without exchanging any money!?! Now, I’m not a smoker, but I guess Fred got a pack of questionable cigarettes for free?? Is that a bargain?? I dunno…

Why Tax Free Cigarettes?

What are genuine tax free cigarettes? In other words, is there anything truly like that available in United States? Legally, there are tax free cigarettes available in US, such as the ones manufactured and sold by the Seneca Nation of Indians based in western New York. But, then it is available only in selected websites/shops. In rest of the country, there is a federal tax of $3.90 levied per carton of cigarettes. That gives an idea as to why a carton of genuine Marlboro, Winston, Montclair, Salem or Camel costs around $40.

Then, there is this illegally sold ‘tax free’ cheap cigarettes that are available in various online stores. Such cheap Salem and Marlboro cigarettes are only half the price of an original taxed cigarette carton because their price does not include the taxation amount. For example, when the taxed cigarette carton costs $40 or more in the market/stores, the same brand cheap discount cigarettes sold illegally online costs a lowly $12 or $13.

From the above, it is clear that the major chunk of the price charged on cigarette cartons is owing to the various taxes imposed on its manufacture, raw materials, sale etc. The actual cost of the cigarettes minus the taxes will be only half of its market price. This is also exactly the reason why there is a mad rush for cheap online cigarettes all over the US. However, don’t take it for granted that online sales of cheap premium cigarettes are allowed in all states in US. For example, states like California has already banned the online marketing and sales of cheap cigarettes or any other cigar and tobacco brands.

Most online cigarette stores also ship cheap discount cigarettes to other countries as well, provided the country of the customer permits such trans-national shipping of cigarette cartons. Such a reservation is relevant as in certain countries like Thailand, India, Angola, and Spain, where shipping of cheap discount cigarettes is banned by stringent laws, and is a punishable offence if somebody is found violating it. Usually, hence, most online cigarette stores mention in no uncertain terms in their website to which all countries they ship cheap discount cigarettes and to which all nations they do not.

The genuine cheap cigarette online stores, selling tax free cigarettes, are the ones that are governed by the Seneca Nations of Indians Business Code, and usually will carry a certified Seneca Nations of Indians online retailer seal. And for a customer to complete a purchase with such a store, the person has to prove that he/she is above eighteen years old and holds a valid driving license. The sale is made only after the verification is finished. Once it is done, the cigarettes will be shipped normally within 5-7 days of order.

Tax free cigarettes are also sent through mail, in which case the rules, regulations and procedures of the post office are also to be followed. The US law also bans tax free cigarettes from reselling in any form. It is only for personal use.

Are Electronic Cigarettes Safe?

Since 2006, the electronic cigarette has attracted millions of people around the world who have switched from traditional cigarettes to the e-cigarette, also referred to as the “safe cigarette, the e-cigarette, and the smokeless cigarette”.

Electronic cigarettes share some aspects of there traditional counterparts, such as appearance, feel and taste of a normal cigarette. But the differences are substantial in that the “safe cigarette” gets it’s name because it produces none of the negative aspects of traditional smoking like tar, ignition (heat), up to 4000 types of chemical additives that often lead to respiratory and cardiac system diseases, nor the carcinogenic effects of traditional cigarettes.

Ever since the Surgeon General determined that cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health, cigarette companies have searched for ways to reduce tar and nicotine levels, in efforts to create a more safe smoking experience. Nothing, however, has ever come close to the electronic cigarette.

This revolutionary new smoking alternative, not only simulates cigarette smoke but also the temperature associated with dragging off a common cigarette (50-60 degrees Celsius), thus adding to the psychological habit without adding the hazardous substances which have proven to cause cancerous, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocyanic acid, acrolein, arsenic, lead and hydragyrum.

Smokeless cigarettes were first viewed with trepidation but more and more have become embraced by the public as well as the Medical Association. E-Cigarettes are now manufactured by a number of different companies throughout the US and China and are readily available across the United States and Europe, even the some of the most ardent skeptics have become believers once they try the electronic cigarette.

Adding to the safety benefits, the electronic cigarette has also been proven as a way for smokers to quit the habit, as the level of nicotine can be carefully monitored, thus giving the smoker the option of gradually lowering the level until he/she can quit without fear of withdrawals. Most electronic cigarette refill cartridges are available in full, medium, light and none, and while electronic cigarettes are not yet approved as smoking cessation devices, the potential for the devices to be used as such is somewhat obvious.

It’s recommended that people who have demonstrated a sensitivity or allergy to nicotine, pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have unstable heart conditions should discuss the use of an electronic cigarette device with a doctor before using one. Additionally, electronic cigarettes may not be used by anyone under the legal smoking age in your state.

Online Cigarette Stores and Discount Coupons

The very thought of buying cheap cigarettes may sound very stupid to most smokers since companies selling tobacco products are having a lot of legal hassles and the state governments are levying more taxes and that too at unheard of rates which has made finding cigarettes at low or even discounted costs a pretty difficult thing. Today, no longer do the local newsstands and convenience stores provide discount cheap cigarettes, which was the case some five years back.

There was a time when a pack of cheap Marlboro cigarettes cost you between three dollars fifty cents and four dollars per pack and then the cost rose to about eight dollars within the span of just one year and today you would indeed be lucky if you only paid seven dollars fifty cents per pack.

However, finding cheap cigarettes today is still possible if you settle for brands that are not part of the established tobacco companies and even from cheap online retailers that are not given to charging high state as well as federal taxes. However, if you are one of those who will not settle for anything less than a pack of Marlboro, Camel, Salem, Winston, B&H, Kool, Rothmans and even Merit or Parliament then you would need to source your cheap discount cigarettes from outlets that don’t have to charge customers these taxes.

Another option is for you to search the Internet where there are many online discount cigarettes stores and a case in point is Discount Cigarettes Shopping Guide that will keep checking and updating its list of retailers and which, when you subscribe to their newsletter, will let you know about changes in prices and also special promotions and also when new additions take place so that you can get the best deal possible.

According to reports on the business of discount cigarettes, it has been found that there are as many as one hundred forty seven web sites alone in the US that are selling discount cigarettes though it is also true that discount cigarettes online sales are as yet in a nascent stage.

Till now, most tobacco companies were using oligopolistic and uniform pricing strategies though of late there has been introduced discount coupons as well that should help these companies to sell more cigarettes, though it is believed that such discount coupon cigarette sales will only be temporary as a means to make cheap discount cigarettes available to the smokers. And, in fact, discount coupon pricing was discontinued in Canada in the year 1972 when manufacturers themselves started to prohibit such discount coupon sales. Also, things have not become any easier for cigarette companies with the coming of the ban on cigarette advertising.

Nevertheless, in the US there are many stores and outlets as well as web portals where you can find information regarding cigarettes and tobacco and who have just very recently started to give out online discount coupons so that customers can buy their favorite cigarettes at a cheaper rate, and along with callback-services, this web portal helps you connect to stores that are authentic so that you can get your discount coupon and buy considerably cheaper cigarettes online.
