Hey all. I've been smoking for about a year now, but I've only once smoked a joint. And the time I did, it was in the backyeard of a 4 million dollar mansion in Chicago when I was already completely trashed, so I sort of forgot anything about it. Anyway, I'm thinking of going to Pipes and Stuff and grabbing some rolling papers. I'm a bit concerned about the smell. If I smoke it inside, will the smell be roughly comparable to a cig or a cigar? I mean, will the entire apartment reek? My roommates don't smoke, so I don't want to annoy them. To give you an idea, when I hit my bong, the smell stays in my room if the door is closed, even during a heavy sesh. However, a cig or cigar smells up the whole place.

The alternative is going out back in the alley and smoking. The problem is, I live in Lincoln Park, Chicago, in a very, very nice neighborhood. The problem here is that my apartment is on the ground floor, and there are two units with decks directly above where I would be smoking. Additionally, there are houses all around, and most are probably owned by people with kids who don't appreciate people smoking pot. These houses are all about 25-30 feet away though. SO, my question is, how much does the smell carry? Inside and outside? If I mix in some tobacco, will that help disguise the smell?
