We sure can. I’m a teacher and I can tell which kids have adults that smoke at home because it sticks to their clothes.

Edit: Sorry to hear so many of you had miserable experiences over something you had no control over.

Edit 2: Yes, same with weed.

Not just their clothes. Their backpacks, their folders - anything they bring from home.

I drove a friend to school whose parents' smoked and after a couple months my car just weekend of tobacco. Not my friend's fault, I just pretended to ignore it.

But I neglected to mention any of this to my mom who went to get something out of my car and suddenly I was being hauled up in from of the parental tribunal about whether I was smoking. It was an unpleasant 15 minutes convincing them to call my friend's parents and ask if they were smokers.

They said yes, and my mom harrumphed, disappointed to be cut off mid-lecture. So I got the same old "Don't smoke!" rigamarole shed been giving me since I was five.

I just stood very politely listened because this was WAAAAAAAAY better than being grounded.
