I believe that's why many sellers advertise the item is from a smoke free home.

Default Smokey smell is inappropiate for candy cards
Over 15 years ago I purchased Zeenut cards from an ebay seller on a consistent basis for a period of over a year and half. The seller must have been at least a 2 pack a day smoker, because each plain white envelope with their paper towel wrapped cards, when opened, practically exuded smoke rings of pungent odor. To this day those cards still have a slight whiff of the cigarette about them.

I have to try the dryer sheet trick...thanks Todd.

Yeah there was a dealer in the 90s and 00s whose packages always reeked. A friend of mine and I joked (well half joked he may have been serious) that we had to air them out in the backyard before bringing them in and opening them.

I thought it was a thread about Smoky Joe Wood.

I thought it was going to be about about Smoky Joe Williams.

But yes, it's happened a few times to me and I am always amazed that the smell can "stick" to cardboard and packaging that well. Imagine how that smell sticks to the lungs. Ugh.

Yeah it can get pretty disgusting. I actually had to return a lot of Exhibit cards I purchased because they reeked so badly of smoke and mildew that it made me sick.

Don't you also hate when there is a hair (hopefully from the head, but maybe not) suspended in the tape?

haha! Yes...especially when they don't look like hair from the top of the head. I always hope it's just underarm hair

Always wondered why sellers cant keep their inventory and smoking away from each other! I don't even know anyone who smokes in their own house anymore. The few people I do know go outside. SMH!!
