I’ve been reading in the forum that smokey environments tend to mask or “cloud” the affects of the pheremones. So what if you are a smoker yourself, or your target is a smoker? For instance, I put on a lil A314, IFM, IH, blah, blah, blah. I go on a date with someone who is a smoker, would a higher than regular dosage be recommended, or would you stick to the old cliche that less is more?
I’m a smoker myself, and I’m guessing that as long as you’re not a chain smoker, your nose will have a lil time to take in the pheremones. Especially in the outdoors or smoke-free indoor atmosphere.
Re: Pheromones in smokey environments…
Pheromones effects on smoker women, is on-off, eg, they come and go, like they get that wiff, then miss the other, in the space of a minute or two.
So it takes a bit longer for them, but if drinks are involved, then it is almost normal effect, all factors considered.
Well, cigarette smoke is flat out toxic! Nicotine is used as an insecticide! It’s not that much of a surprise when you consider emphysema is a known result of smoking for a long time.
I was thinking more in terms of a tar coating similar to what happens to the cilia (not sure how to spell that) in the throat of a smoker – these are small hairs that detect debris and trigger us to cough foreign objects out so we don’t get ill, anyway it seems any receptor that comes in contact with tar long term could become derelict.
And yet smokers who quit recover a great deal of their sense of smell and taste … and Luca Turin has said that many of the great perfumers have been smokers - which shocked me! But then one of the greatest, Jean Carles, became completely anosmic and carried on composing from memory.
