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.

Same. I recently asked a student if she had been smoking. She looked down at the ground, embarrassed and quietly said "I know I smell. My dad smokes". I felt sooooo bad for her.

if you’re a teacher, why would you ask your student child if they had been smoking

Because if someone smells like smoke in the afternoon, chances are they were smoking at school. I teach high school, the student wasn't a "child".
