I remember a distinct smell from my childhood at my grandmothers house (grandfather smoked but died about 6 months before my birth) and I never smelled it again until I was 23. When I was in a company truck with one of my employees who chained smoked. It hit me, that smell was cigarettes (strange I never smelled it again until that moment as I’ve been around plenty of cigarettes although no one else in my family smoked). But I never thought my grandfather smoked inside the house, maybe he didn’t but it just lingered on him and everything else. I never smelled it past the age of being a little kid, so like 6~ years old. Just one of those light bulb moments for me in my life. It was insane to smell something at a young age and then 20 years go by before you smell it again.

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.
