Help ...smell sensitivity πŸ˜•

Hy everyone πŸ€—..hope you're all doing well . My probleme today is related to the ...smellπŸ˜•πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ. I don't know if it relates to ms or not .. I've always been a bit sensitive to strong smells...strong parfume... they've made me nauseous... Now ...it 10 times worse πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ₯ΊπŸ˜ͺ.. I've been diagnosed last year in September and I can see that some smells brother me a lot. My issue is that my husband it's a smoker..and he's vaping too πŸ˜’πŸ˜–...I can't stand the smell of those solutions ..I'm constantly nauseous...can't stand to stay near him as I can sense the smell all over him πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜ͺπŸ˜–..and have to run to the bathroom..and that makes him feel unappreciated.πŸ˜•πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I was even sick .. vomiting for couples of times...I washed all the window blinds...as he thinks that opening a window and vaping outside ..on the window...will help ..but physics..don't agree...and all that smoke ...smell ..is coming in the house πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜·πŸ€’...making me sick...washed the sofa ... armchairs...carpets...just because he thought that I will never find out that he is vaping inside.πŸ˜ͺπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜’ I've tried to explain to him that that solutions ..that smoke ..the smell...makes me sick ...and instead of giving up smoking it ...he tries covering up the smell using πŸ˜–πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜·πŸ€’..strong parfume...body deodorant πŸ˜’..and it makes it even worse πŸ€’πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ₯ΊπŸ˜–...I can't breathe... It clearly he don't want to stop ..as when I spoke to him about it first time ..after getting my diagnosis in September... he put it away for a while..but now ... instead of stopping...he bought the second one .. identical with the first one plus 2 more... So I'm constantly exposed ... constantly nauseous... constantly feeling sick..πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ₯ΊπŸ˜–πŸ€’. What can I do to make it a bit better ...there's some pills that I can take ( will contact my ms nurse too) ... anything that can help ...πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜• How can I deal with this ...tried talking nice...tried shouting ... bursting in tears...he sees me being sick and he asks me why ..I tell him the reason ..and he gets bothered that of course ..it his fault (the way he thinks it) πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜’πŸ˜ͺ... Any advice will be appreciated πŸ˜…..thank you all in advance πŸ₯°. Sending hugs πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

I'm a smoker myself, but I spent years smoking outside because my husband didn't smoke and I didn't want the kids around it. After they got a bit older and I hadn't quit, we set up a smoking room in the house for me. It was little more than a large closet, had a door that sealed well and an exhaust fan on a side wall directly above my ashtray. It made a world of difference. Of course, you could still smell it on me, but the smoke all went outside. I don't know what else to suggest, but the smell of vapes makes me sick, too. I also had to stop wearing heavy scents years ago. If I do any now, it's a light "natural" scent.
