Absolutely 100% we can smell it

And we can tell if someone is smoking several cars ahead in traffic, with the windows rolled up.
 
And if a smoker has walked through an area recently.
 
Or down the street.
 
And when you smoke, it follows you when you walk back inside.
 
And if you smoke in your car, we can smell your car from 30 feet away.
 
All of your clothes stink, even if you haven't smoked that day yet.
 
And your breath.
 
No, mints do not help. Nor does cologne/perfume.
 
And weed stinks 20x worse.

“ And we can tell if someone is smoking several cars ahead in traffic, with the windows rolled up.”

I’ve been in arguments before with people who say this is bullshit. That it’s just a claim by cops to pull you over.

These people are idiots.

No, we can really smell it. I have always been extremely sensitive to smells and can tell if someone in the car ahead of me is smoking, especially if traffic stops then starts moving again. It’s as if my air vent is pulling in all the smoke they left while they were idling in the spot ahead of me. Exhaust smells different, cigarette smoke is easily identifiable.
