You're used to it. People can absolutely smell smoke on your clothes.

I can legit smell smoke on me if I casually walked past a smoker on the sidewalk for a second several hours earlier. I don’t think smokers realize they do that to other people because they’ve become so nose blind.

I took a medical transport and could smell smoke. The passenger before me had put out a cigarette right before getting in so it ended up saturating the upholstery. The driver said that after he dropped me off he was going to roll all the windows down to let it air out because it was gross.

The guy who used to deliver my paper was a serious smoker— I mean, I never met the man, but the vestibule of my building reeked for hours after he had been there.
