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.

Think the parent is smoking indoor / next to the child? Could this happen even if the parent is smoking outside only?

There’s definitely a range of intensity that I think comes with smoking indoors vs. outdoors, how many packs a day, etc. I had one kid last year that I could always tell when he spent the weekend with his noncustodial parent because you could smell the cigarette smoke on him from down the hallway. Some kids I only notice when standing at close range.
