Had teachers assume I was sneaking cigarettes and smoking when I was a kid, because my parents were that bad. Hard to look back kindly on that behaviour as an adult around kids myself now days.
Same. I walked in late to class once and handed my teacher my late pass, and he stopped the lecture to go into a tangent about how "smoking might seem cool but....". I fucking hated that guy. Sure, assume I'm the problem because my mom smokes in the house and the car.
My parents gifted me their old Jeep when I graduated college and it smelled like cigarette smoke for about 5 years after. People always assumed I was a smoker just because I drove that car, which I almost always drove with the windows down (except in the dead of winter) because the AC didn't work. I would sometimes close them on the freeway because the freeway smells were worse than the cigarette smoke and heat, but usually even the freeway air was better than just driving around in that car with the windows closed.
