How Long Does the Smell Linger From Cooking Meth?

Published May 15, 2010

A friend lives in a duplex and smelled lighter fluid very strong the other night. We learned that it may be an indication that meth amphetamines were being cooked.

The smell apparently was gone a couple hours after she left the house and returned later. We are wondering if the neighbors were indeed cooking meth if the smell would have lingered longer or if it still is a possibility that the smell was from cooking meth.
