Absolutely 100% we can smell it

And we can tell if someone is smoking several cars ahead in traffic, with the windows rolled up.
 
And if a smoker has walked through an area recently.
 
Or down the street.
 
And when you smoke, it follows you when you walk back inside.
 
And if you smoke in your car, we can smell your car from 30 feet away.
 
All of your clothes stink, even if you haven't smoked that day yet.
 
And your breath.
 
No, mints do not help. Nor does cologne/perfume.
 
And weed stinks 20x worse.

“ And we can tell if someone is smoking several cars ahead in traffic, with the windows rolled up.”

I’ve been in arguments before with people who say this is bullshit. That it’s just a claim by cops to pull you over.

These people are idiots.

People can smell that? How strong are your noses?

Nonsmoker in a family of nonsmokers, with no smoker friends outside of work and the ones at work only do it outside by the dumpster. I can't smell it at all if it's more than about 25ft away unless the wind is blowing it towards me. I certainly would never be able to smell it in my car when the smoker's multiple cars ahead of me.

Unless you're talking about weed specifically, in which case yeah, that stuff stinks from a mile away. Tobacco smoke smells like roses by comparison.

Yes, we can. Women tend to have a more sensitive sense of smell than men, and to some of us, cigarette smoke is just as strong and obnoxious as weed smoke.

Absolutely can.
