My Ex wants to work things out for our daughters sake, shes one, but the last two times he has kissed me, there is a fowl like sour taste and smell to his breath and stuff. I dont want to freak out since i just served him with court papers for sole custody, but is that what im smelling and tasting? should i be concerned for your daughter when shes with him?

Yes, you can smell crack on someone's breath. It is a chemical smell. It does linger for awhile. If you kiss someone you will smell it. It also comes through the pores of users and gets in their clothes. Many crackheads try to mask smell with cigarettes or gum. The body odor is really nasty. Smells like feces and urine (cat **** or ammonia smell). Crack kills blood cells and they come out in the urine which makes it darker and stinky. The stink also comes through the pores. It is made worse by an accelerated sweating and sometimes lack of hygiene.  One of my buddies is a crackhead and he can't smell it on himself.

When he comes home I can smell like a burnt plastic type of smell on his breath.  I am 7 months pregnant and have super sonic smelling power right now.  He is trying really hard to hide it from me but I see a pattern in his behaviour.  What do you smoke it out of?

there may be some odor after smoking crack, but you would just bout have to be there within 5 minutes of them smoking a hit to really smell it. but my wife can smell it on my clothes more than on my breath. fabric tends to hold smells longer then our breath does i guess.
