Sqad??? Smelling smoke?

[woofgang]

I live in a total non smoking house. Periodically I get a strong smell of smoke in my nostrils. I have googled and found it can be a symptom of a sinus problem. Sure enough sterimar sinus wash spray (natural saline) clears it temporarily but it always comes back. Any comments, suggestions welcome. And no it's not a smoking ghost!

The big question is......................are my sinuses infected or not?

To answer that question, you need X-Rays of your sinuses.

Perfectly safe woofgang.

I don't want to appear facetious, but could there be something smouldering away somewhere?

Which sort of 'smoke' smell is it? Tobacco, wood etc?

The last time I had a smokey smell lingering it turned out to be Merlin, my long haired lady cat, setting fire to her ar$e under my halogen lamp.

thanks sqad...no, nothing smouldering anywhere, I checked, anyway this has been happening on and off for a month or so and in different locations. The smell is what a non smoker (me) smells when a smoker first lights a ciggie with a match.

As per my post, it's deffo not a smoking ghost!

It's your new neighbours smoking outside their back door.

Honey! For a moment I thought you meant ....'and is under the floorboards....'

No new neighbours and how would that explain smelling it in the middle of the new forest at 5 am?
