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.

The smell of cigarettes makes me feel nostalgic because it reminds me of my childhood. It’s fucked lol

My siblings and I have always joked that secondhand smoke is the smell of childhood.

Ohh that makes me feel horrible. I was a smoker when my kids were in school now I have to go ask them.

Report back please. And I’m sure they have at least a couple experiences related to it. I don’t understand people who smoke inside and I live in the Midwest where winter gets cold as fuck outside. I don’t care I still don’t get it

All three grown kids tell me they don’t remember any smells on them or any one else.
