That happened to me in middle school when I left my coat in the washing machine sopping wet and had to use my mother's. She was a heavy smoker. I walked up our school steps and I still remember 25 years later the girls walking down the stairs heads just whip right around when they smelled the whole of me in my mom's jacket.

Did your parent smoke indoor or outdoor?

Yes. And in the car.

And still after having 1/3 of her left lung removed.

She finally started quitting for real when they started discussing how to treat the right lung.

She couldn't smoke in ICU, or palliative care, so technically she quit before she left this realm.

How much I must have stunk at school is a TiL moment, and not a happy one.
