No Smoking, Please

I was working at my laptop when I suddenly smelled the faint odor of cigarette smoke. Since there are only four of us who live here and (1) I have NEVER smoked, (2) Carl quit 30 years ago, and (3) to our knowledge, JJ and Grover haven't taken up the habit, I was quite puzzled. I called Carl into the room but he didn't smell anything.

I continued my work and, periodically, I smelled the smell. I finally realized that I the smell was strongest when my hands were close to my face. Sure enough, my hands smelled like cigarette smoke! The only thing I had done different was to open a new jar of Burt's Bees' Hand Creme, which smells like almonds in the jar, and smells like cigarette smoke on my hands!

I love Burt's Bees' products, but I think they need to work on the fragrance of this one. . .
