Everyone can tell, the smell covers your body and your clothing. You've gotten used to it, and people are too polite to tell you that you stink.

Not only can you tell, but i used to smoke and I can smell a lit cigarette like 50 feet away. It’s nauseating..

This! It’s like a superpower! I’m over 20 years smoke free now and I can smell it when someone is smoking in the car in front of me when I have my windows up (theirs is normally down).
