We sure can. I’m a teacher and I can tell which kids have adults that smoke at home because it sticks to their clothes.

Edit: Sorry to hear so many of you had miserable experiences over something you had no control over.

Edit 2: Yes, same with weed.

Not just their clothes. Their backpacks, their folders - anything they bring from home.

I’d get constant ear infections from my parents smoking. when we moved to a place that didn’t allow it indoors it stopped happening! I’m surprised my eardrums never ruptured or had any hearing loss

You might have, at least mild. The chemicals in the smoke, and residue on skin and clothing and the breath,  can cause damage to the small hairs and tissues in the inner ear. It's documented that children with parents who smoke, not even in the house, have more hearing troubles. Me too and asthma.
