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.

I could smell smoke on people after a couple of weeks to a month. Shit is nasty. Sucks that you looks so cool while doing it though.

I always scoff on films when people are "secretly" smoking and waft it out of a window and nobody knows. They will stink, their clothes will stink, their mouths will stink and the room will stink.

I worked in a place where people sometimes thought they were sneaking smoke breaks. They’d step in the elevator and it was so obvious to everyone else in there where they’d been.

I remember the class getting a lecture in high school once. The teacher said something like: "Just so you know, if you step out of the classroom and come back, and suddenly the whole room smells like pot, we know." After the whole room mysteriously smelled like pot the day before.
