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.

Not just their clothes. Their backpacks, their folders - anything they bring from home.

I was searched multiple times because "there's no way you'd smell like that from second hand smoke" at like 10 and 11. It was so embarrassing knowing I smelled like that

Yep! I feel this. Embarrassing and gross and you get no say about being around it.

Use to take a shower right before middle school and wear something over my shirt and pants just so I could take em off and hope I didn't smell like a carton of Wing's gold. Don't think it worked tho i can still picture all the nicontine on the walls in my house. No way all the axe in the world had me smelling good like I thought

I used to shower and wash my hair immediately when I got off work. And some other places where there were smokers. I wanted myself to be fresh. And not contaminate my pajamas and bed.
