What Causes Stale Cigarette Smoke Smell In Perspiration?
Question: Recently, my perspiration smells like stale cigarette smoke. I do not smoke at all, and at first, I thought that I had just been around smoke without noticing it and that I got it on my clothes. However, I am noticing that it is my own perspiration. Suggestions?
Brief Answer:
Foods/drinks/alcohol/spices/medications apart cialis as probable causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Bad smelling perspiration might be related to:
- foods/drinks you consumed recently (especially when it comes to spices)
- medications you take apart cialis
I advise to get frequent bathing and use anti-perspirant deodorants.
Avoid alcohol or spices that would trigger bad smelling perspiration.
Hope it was of help! Let me know if I can assist you further!

the smell has nothing to do with my bathing-I bath regularly. This is a very recent development... I am an active person, and I have been my whole life. The smell of cigarette smoke has never happened prior to the last couple of months. Nothing has changed in my daily routine. Does Cialis have this side effect? I have been taking it for about 7 months.
Brief Answer:
Cialis causes excessive sweating...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for providing additional information.
You are reporting to be using Cialis for 7 months now, and just recently, you noted the bad perspiration.
The use of Cialis is associated with excessive sweating. As sweat contains the byproducts of body metabolism, it has a certain smell. When excessive sweating is present, the smell will be more notable.
This is what I think is happening in your case.
However, if I was your caring doctor would exclude other factors like:
- hypothyroidism
- anxiety/stress
All the best!
