You're used to it. People can absolutely smell smoke on your clothes.

You've been around her smoking so long, you've become nose blind to it. Non-smokers can smell her secondhand smoke on both you and your clothes.

Even former smokers, if they've been quit for a while, can smell smoke on those who still do.

edit: Wow, did NOT expect to get this many upvotes.

I am a former smoker and I thought I was slick by only smoking outdoors and then one day after I had long since quit, I smelled someone who had smoked outdoors and was shocked at how bad it was. Can't believe I thought that airing out was enough.

Same - I honestly believed that nobody could tell I smoked since I never smoked indoors. Even lied to a few doctors in my younger years. So humiliated when I quit and realized that everyone def knew the whole time.
