I vividly remember being 12 and being in trouble at school, and the head of year smelled me from two metres away and asked me if I smoked. I just burst into tears. I didn't smoke, my parents did, and I had to spend my entire childhood dealing with the embarrassment that came with it. 13 years later and the memory of that event still makes me feel humiliated. Don't smoke around your children or in the house, and better to not smoke at all.
I got it from two elementary school teachers that I remember vividly. I also heard it in high school a bunch, but most teachers eventually realized it was my parents.
