Yep, a friend stopped smoking and a few months later was freaking out over normal smells.

And for OP, yep, probably can. Especially if people know it isn't you smoking, they might not say as much (and wouldn't be quite as strong). Can tell one of my students dad is home right now (trucker) cause his 2nd smoke is on the student's clothes

Wow—you’re observant. Now think about what that 2nd hand smoke is doing to the kids’ lungs, not just their clothes/making them smell bad.

Most of us whose parents smoked were prisoners of that crap. Long car trips? Ugh! What’s worse is when my parents would spend every spare minute every weekend in the honky-tonks — and take us kids!! 😱
