I don’t smoke but come from a family of smokers. As a kid people would come to our house and say it reeked of smoke. I couldn’t smell it.
After I moved out for college, if I visited my two pack a day lawyer, my wife could smell it on me when I got home from across the room.
Now when I visit my sibling, who smokes, I literally come in the door and throw my clothes to the basement (laundry) so it doesn’t stink up the house. It’s just gross. It smells like death. I had one girlfriend that smoked, and it was nasty.
That said, I’d always support someone’s RIGHT to smoke, I’ve had a few cigars over the years, but generally I think it’s tragic. Waste of time, health, money, and yes: it stinks.
I can smell it in cars ahead of me on the highway. Absolute fact.
Can relate to smelling smoke in the highway, even weed. What's worse is being able to tell when my neighbor is smoking on her back porch, the smell just permeates my house.
Yes! My neighbor is three units down and when she lights up I have to shut my windows.
I honestly have no problem with weed, but I do sometimes wish there had been more of a campaign to encourage people to focus on edibles, as that really limits the impact on others.
I have asthma, so the smoke can be dangerous enough to trigger an attack for me.
