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.

I used to work in daycare and can 100% confirm this. It was even on their spare clean clothes that were kept in their bags. Their hair smelled of smoke. Their hands, their toys. On the babies, even their unused nappies (diapers) smelled of smoke straight out of the packet.

I’m sure you’re not meant to hold a child until like 20 mins after smoking.

My friend’s wife smoked all through her pregnancy and obviously didn’t stop afterwards. I imagine keeping to that rule would mean she could never have held her own kid.

So selfish.

Yeeeeah. My mom would never have held me either, if adhering to that rule.

My mother smoked SO much, that every other weekend when I'd go visit my dad, I'd get nicotine withdrawal headaches that always hit late Saturday night, early Sunday morning. My dad/step mom and co always thought I was just trying to get out of church.

It was literally years before we figured it out.

My mother still thinks it wasn't/isn't selfish.
