in retrospect it was insane when adults would insist I was smoking because they smelled smoke on me when secondhand smoke was fucking everywhere

The people, who'd be able to tell that it's just the stench of secondhand smoke sticking to you (smokers) wouldn't keep pestering you to quit smoking in the first place, so you had no chance in that situation.

Did he threaten to call your parents because you could have showed him.

one time when i was in high school my mom lent my car to a (already not well-liked) family acquaintance for like a weekend and it stank like stale cigarette reek from that moment until when it got totaled. i never forgave the motherfucker.

I think that’s a small side benefit with so many switching over to vaping besides the secondhand health woes.

The odor in comparison is basically nothing so smokers aren’t inflicting you with Dung Pods just by being around you anymore.

When I was in 7th grade I had a hand-me-down suade jacket that smelled so much that the metal kids from gym class would ask me for cigarettes and wouldn't believe that I didn't smoke either

I also say you should quit, sometimes it's hard to see you on stream through the haze of smoke, and using xbob as an ashtray just seems mean.

In a really twisted way, you were doing something worse than smoking (unsolicited 2nd hand smoking)

I'm a little surprised no teachers of mine brought up the weed smell, considering our laundry room was one thin door away from my dad's grow room.

The smell gets a lot stronger when it's dried out

He was also drying them in the same room. For context, I am in Washington, which was full of stoners before it was legal, so maybe they just didn't notice. Lol

I've developed an almost unfair hatred of smokers, not because of the impact on their own health, but because of their habits ruining their own belongings. Stained furniture and appliances, yellowed books, smells that can't be washed out, absolutely horrific car interiors. It's disgusting.

Knowing that you're French-Canadian, I'm just imagining your parents chain smoking over you, dressed in like that french stripes and baret, and Bagette.

But like, the striped shirt is a hockey jersey, and the bagette is a hockey stick. The baret remains.

I haven't been around my smoking family in probably over a decade, but I swear I can still smell the smoke on my jackets.
