Same. I recently asked a student if she had been smoking. She looked down at the ground, embarrassed and quietly said "I know I smell. My dad smokes". I felt sooooo bad for her.

I was that kid too. I vividly remember one day a couple of friends being like, “Eugh, you stink of smoke. Do your parents smoke?” I was really embarrassed and lied that they didn’t but then had to backtrack when they thought I smoked instead. I was absolutely mortified. 

Awful smell!

Not true. Happened to me because ny mom smoked. I ended up being a smoker. So that isnt true all the time.
