Some of us are asthmatic and we get bad ALLERGY attacks when exposed to cigarette smoke. When we receive and open a package, we do NOT wish to be greeted with that smell. So please, DISCLOSE if the items in your closet are EXPOSED to cigarettes. Thank you. Please consider Mold as well.

Great Point! I just started selling online and that’s something I’ve never thought about.
I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke, so this is something worth asking the sellers before I make a purchase!
You learn something every day!🎊
lipsticknjeans
@dlynch2009 absolutely. I opened a package and I had a severe reaction. I learned my lesson. Just wish it would be disclosed in each closet.
lipsticknjeans
@maqdimapan it’s the right thing to do. That way there are no surprises🤗❤️
emory1975
@lipsticknjeans I totally agree..I always ask if it is because I’m sensitive to smoke.
nao77
Extremely important to point this out.
lipsticknjeans
@nao77 absolutely! I hope people will start to simply acknowledge it. Makes the transaction so much better.

Smoke and pet free here!!

I bought something and it smelled so bad when I opened it!!! I did leave a comment that it smelled. It was not nice!!
supb
That's one thing I keep forgetting to write on my listings,that I'm smoke free. And I react rly badly to smoke!

nckac57
Thanks for posting this. I’m not selling yet but when I do I will also put “Non-smoking home” in my listings.
lipsticknjeans
@nckac57 yes!!!!! I am amazed at how many people do not realize how important it can’t be for some people. Absolutely! Thank you.
nckac57
@lipsticknjeans I think dogs and cats should be mentioned too.
lipsticknjeans
@nckac57 true. Some may have allergies
stephp28
Completely agree! It turns me off on items if they have a terrible smell! It makes me wonder what kind of person I have order from. Atleast let us know, or wash the item! I don’t want my smoke free home smelling like a bar!
lipsticknjeans
@stephp28 exactly!!!!!👏🏻
tarac71
🚭🚭THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS💯‼️‼️
🚬🚫🚬🚫🚬🚫. We Love our ‘fur-babies’ BUT Poshers have allergies too🐱🐶🐱🐶
jillene002
This is a great idea and it’s also good about items come in smelling like mold as I’m highly allergic to mold ended up in the hospital for breathing treatments due to somebody sending me clothing that was moldy, musty and dusty From sitting so long. Was in the hospital for over two weeks due to it. I’m sure they would not want to pay my hospital bills and my medication for it
lipsticknjeans
@jillene002 exactly!! To some is bothersome, but to others it’s life and death. Feel free to use it.
jillene002
@lipsticknjeans I agree but people don’t consider mold or moldy and musty clothes What I can do to a person with all the allergies
lipsticknjeans
@jillene002 very true.
jillene002
@lipsticknjeans I really appreciate that means a lot to people are allergic to a lot of things
lipsticknjeans
@jillene002 thank you! Very welcome 🥰
bell1971
@lipsticknjeans Great idea !! One thing I will never understand is we DONT SMOKE. NO ONE SMOKES IN OUR HOUSE and I have 2 complaints about my items smelling like cigarette smoke !!!! New items !!! Do these postal people smoke or what ???🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
lipsticknjeans
@bell1971 yes they do! I had a LV bag sold and the lady gave me 4 stars because” I should not have sprayed so much perfume on it”. Nooooo, I did not spray anything on it! I called post master in her city and complained. I know it shouldn’t matter, but it does!
bell1971
@lipsticknjeans Boy that really upset me. Lost my 5 star rating because of it !!! Now I have been stuck at 4.9 Because of it !!! Smh. I’m frustrated. 😤. Makes me just want to quit !!!
lipsticknjeans
@bell1971 nah. We are better than that! Chin up PFF. 🥰❤️
bell1971
@lipsticknjeans I’m trying 😀💋💄💋💄💋💄💋
shwonie
Until I started selling on Poshmark I never knew people could be allergic to cigarette odor. Actual smoke yes, but odor? Soak an item in warm water with a cup each of vinegar and baking soda, rinse and hang out to line dry will get rid of smoke smell.
lipsticknjeans
@shwonie I have awful migraines and smoke triggers them. The problem with washing items is that you might not be able to open a return case.
shwonie
@lipsticknjeans Have you talked to a doctor about your headaches? I had migraines for years until I found a doctor with a working brain who prescribed Inderal, a beta blocker. Overnight my migraines vanished and as long as I took the meds, no headaches. My message was for smoking sellers, should have made this clear. I always wash items in vinegar water before selling and have begun to mention smoke exposure when a buyer is interested in clothing.
lipsticknjeans
@shwonie yes, I do have a medicine that will take my migraines away for the most part. I made this listing, because I think it would be better if sellers indicate that items are exposed to smoke. That way the buyer can make the decision to purchase the items knowing that they were exposed to smoke. I had a lady who sent me shoes with mold which is again dangerous for other peoples health. I did hear about the vinegar and heard you can also put items in the freezer.
americantan
VERY important. Some sellers claim to have a nonsmoking home, but they purchase items from other sellers/garage sales that were stored in a smoking home. There is no way to remove the smell completely or permanently. It’s also much easier for a non-smoker to notice it than somebody who is used to it.
lipsticknjeans
@lolayoo my claim is my word. You are right. There may very well be sellers who do that. Items in my closet are purchased by me. We are a non smoking home.
beautifulsam
@bell1971 what happened with those complaints? I have a case against me right now for a bag and the lady says it’s dirty and smells like smoke. I don’t smoke and the bag is new with tags, I’m wondering how this will turn out for me, I really don’t think it’s fair. 😔
lesliewalter623
Can we return an item the smells like smoke? I just opened a package with one shirt. My first purchase here and I don’t even want to try it on.
lipsticknjeans
@lesliewalter623 do not accept. Open a case. PM will decide
lesliewalter623
@lipsticknjeans Thank you. Should I be asking sellers this if it’s not stated? I’m not asthmatic, but was surprised by the items condition and wouldn’t purchase if I knew.
lipsticknjeans
@lesliewalter623 yes. Although I feel it should be disclosed, but it’s not. I always ask if item is exposed to so a smoker.
mybellalove
I just received a beautiful jacket that reeks of smoke and I’m hoping a professional clean will take it out. I wish the seller would have disclosed the item came from a smoker. Lesson learned to ask questions before buying!
lipsticknjeans
@mybellalove I’m sorry this happened to you. I would reach out to Poshmark. I wish sellers would understand how it affects non smokers. Very sorry you are dealing with this.
yogirllilj
Just ran into this issue, thankfully Poshmark accepted my return request.
lipsticknjeans
@yogirllilj I’m glad. I can’t stand the smell of cigarettes
yogirllilj
@lipsticknjeans I am just nervous because the Posh buyer has my full name and address. I have seen some angry people on here about these things. But the jacket was filthy and just did not match the description in my opinion.
lipsticknjeans
@yogirllilj it will be ok.
nanc614
Lesson learned the hard way. I’ll never buy again without asking if they have a smoke free home. I have gone and updated my listings as such. I hate smoke smells!
lipsticknjeans
@nanc614 me too!
bnl7
Yes, agreed! I’m trying to get a refund for an item I purchased that smelled like smoke but the seller is trying to tell me to just throw it away 🤦🏻♀️
lipsticknjeans
@bnl7 wait to hear from Poshmark. Keep item in bag but wait for Poshmark
tommygirl7777
It's not needed just for those with health problems, but smoky smelling clothes just are gross. I don't know why people just don't disclose their items are not from a smoke free home. Why doesn't PM make sellers ratings available to the public.
lipsticknjeans
@tommygirl7777 good question!!
worthitmissy
My last two Posh purchases have been a total waste of $ due to this issue. Seriously, I would rather pay retail than small smoke. It triggers migraines in me.
lipsticknjeans
@worthitmissy I am so sorry that happened to you. I wish smokers would understand how it affects us. Specially if we get migraines.
veryluckygirl
@lipsticknjeans New to PM. My home is smoke-free but if I sell an item for my sister for example I can’t guarantee that there isn’t a subtle smoke odor that someone sensitive to it might notice but that I don’t.
What do I do is the item is new with tags? I’d be happy to dry clean or launder an item to ensure it’s not going to affect anybody’s allergies be it mold, pets or smoke.
Does that then negate being new with tags?
lipsticknjeans
@veryluckygirl the best advice I personally can give you is to say this in your description. “As you are a smoke free home, but items might come from a home where they might have been exposed to smokers.”This way, the buyer is aware and can make an informed decision. 😊.
veryluckygirl
@lipsticknjeans Thank you. I have one more question because you seem quite knowledgeable about all of this and I’m new :)
Do you think it’s wrong to advertise something as new with tags and then indicate that I’m willing to dry clean or launder it?
lipsticknjeans
@veryluckygirl I would NOT do it. To me NWT means NWT. Just my opinion
veryluckygirl
@lipsticknjeans I would never do it without disclosing that I was going to launder or dry clean it but thank you. I absolutely see your point
drey805ify
Would it be okay if I copied your pic and posted it? I keep running into this problem, and they never mention it in there descriptions or bio! I've even had somebody try and blame it on the postman saying maybe the mailman was smoking when he delivered the package! Like really?! With all that tape you had the box sealed with , how would the smoke permeate that?! It's ridiculous!
lipsticknjeans
@drey805ify absolutely please do. I truly don’t think that people know what a reaction to smoke can do to a person with issues being asthma or a weak lung system.
maxcote
I just purchased something on Poshmark where a seller sold me a jacket that smelled like cigarette smoke, without disclosing it in the description but denies being a smoker (or maybe just thrifted it and don't care). Either way, in good faith I washed it, but the smell did not come out! I finally reported it but Poshmark will not stand by the buyer since I washed it (damned if you do, damned if you don't, right?) and now I have to live with clothes that gives me an allergic reaction.
lipsticknjeans
@maxcote that’s so unfair and unfortunate. I’m sorry. YES! Never ever mess or try to fix a bad transaction. Open case and let Support know.
littlelillee
Just received an item this week described in excellent condition that reeks like cigarettes . Poshmark has sided with the seller who claims it’s impossible. The smoke has been completely absorbed into the item.
lipsticknjeans
@littlelillee I’m so sorry. Ok. I want to share this. Sometimes the Postal driver smokes in truck. Totally against rules but it’s done. Maybe seller lying and maybe not. I have learned to place item inside a sealed bag. Then tape ALL CORNERS of box to minimize that happening.
littlelillee
@lipsticknjeans thank you for sharing, and I want to give the seller the befit if the doubt, but every inch of the item smells. This was delivered with two other packages in similar packaging, and they are fine, which makes me think it’s not the case🙁.
lipsticknjeans
@littlelillee 🙁it’s frustrating and I’m sorry. Maybe air it outside. Newspaper also absorbs odor. I had a violent reaction to smoke and I’m super careful now. Good luck!
sophsoph327
Exactly! I’m not allergic but I got a pair of shoes and the smell can’t easily be removed. It smells awful!
lipsticknjeans
@sophsoph327 easily avoided had it been disclosed 🥰. It’s a question I know ask prior to purchase.
becky_brad_2017
Just recently bought my 11 year old a pair of shoes off of here and the smell HORRIBLY of Mary J. I am not sure how to get the smell out. There is no freaking way I’m sending my baby around with shoes that smell like that. They were marked as pretty much new only worn once. 😩
becky_brad_2017
@sophsoph327 I’m in the same boat right now. I can’t get the smell out!! I’ve been trying all day.
lipsticknjeans
@becky_brad_2017 do not accept order. Reach out to support
rhonda5976
@yogirllilj Dirty on top of cigarette odor? I wash everything then bag it. My home is not smoke free. I've had a couple of complaints and one return. Debating on whether I should continue. I'm adding to my listings Not smoke free. Hope that helps.
lipsticknjeans
@rhonda5976 yes! Please add that information so buyer is aware. Thank you for doing that.
rhonda5976
@lipsticknjeans I have updated my items with NOT A SMOKE FREE HOME. Sold 2 items today. So it goes to show some don't care or are smokers themselves.
lipsticknjeans
@rhonda5976 congratulations on your sales. I understand that and I agree. It could be either way. However, and this is the main reason for my listing, is that some of us are allergic/asthmatic and do not like the smell of smoke, and want to be informed so we can make, a purchase and know what to expect. If I’m told what to expect, then there are no surprises and it becomes an easy transaction.
