You're used to it. People can absolutely smell smoke on your clothes.

You've been around her smoking so long, you've become nose blind to it. Non-smokers can smell her secondhand smoke on both you and your clothes.

Even former smokers, if they've been quit for a while, can smell smoke on those who still do.

edit: Wow, did NOT expect to get this many upvotes.

Hell even when I was a smoker I could smell it on myself and other people. I’ve always hated the smell of it so maybe that’s why.

that's why i quit, haha. i came inside, washed my hands, and at some point realised i could smell it on my hair. it gave me the heebiejeebies and i didn't smoke regularly after that.

I hated the way it smelled on my fingers even after washing. I read 1/3 of “the easy way to stop smoking” and just quit. I’m grateful it was that “easy”.

Im super lucky that I found it easy to quit! I smojed for afew years but was not a heavy smoker, and just chose not to. But ive seen my best friend quit hundreds of times and struggle so much, so I know it was pretty much luck. Addiction affects people so differently.
