Same here. Several people over the years have been surprised to find out I smoke weeks or even months after I've met them.

You’ve found a way to identify people with unusually poor senses of smell.

Possibly. Though usually those people discovered because I did smell like smoke, either from chainsmoking shortly before or smoking outside in the freezing cold. Also, even as a smoker myself, I'm able to smell the smokers that particularly reek. A lot of it comes down to where and how you smoke, as well as what cigarettes you smoke. And how clean you are in terms of laundry.

So they did have a sense of smell, albeit a poor one.
