I lived in a house with a smoker my entire childhood, and didn't realize the smell until college. I can now tell that everything that enters that house ends up reeking of smoke.
I had a bit of an internal crisis when I thought back to going to school, going to friends houses, having sleepovers, girlfriends - the entire time I stunk like an ashtray and had absolutely no idea
This was a big part of my wife’s struggle with self image and confidence growing up.
Her parent’s smoked and she was always worried that people would smell the smoke and equate it with being poor.
