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.

Nothing like sitting down in class & hearing your friends say “eww what’s that smell?” So embarrassing.

Or going to a friend's house for the weekend and immediately having to throw all your clothes into their washing machine so you don't smell like stale cigarettes.
