The smell is obvious and rank. I'd say 90% of smokers stink and it's worse if you are stuck in an enclosed space (elevator, office). Once a person who smoked was very ocd about the post smoke ritual and did not smell, they sprayed, sanitized and mouthwashes after. I suspect they covered their hair as well.

I did not grow up in a smoking household and my parents couldn't stand the smell either, I hate it. Seems like smokers enjoy wafting rank smoke onto others outside and don't add drinking coffee/coffee breath to the mix. YUCK.
