recently I have seen a ton of threads on reddit along the lines of, "can non-smokers really tell if someone smokes cigarettes?" or "do non-smokers think everyone who smokes cigarettes smells?"

yes. people with half decent smelling abilities (I would say ye average person who can smell) are able to tell not only if someone is a smoker, but if they live with a smoker or have been around someone smoking cigarettes recently. cigarette smell is awful, it gets into the clothes, it gets into hair, it gets into paper, it gets all over the skin. it seems like people who are around cigarette smoke a lot stop noticing the smell.

just about everyone who can smell (and is not a smoker) notices cigarette smell. it is extremely potent. cigarette smell, even just leftover in clothes, is a common trigger for asthma and other types of breathing problems, and perfumes to cover up the smells can often just make that worse, make someone breathing it sicker, and bring more attention to something that absolutely reeks. a lot of smokers do not realize just how terrible they smell until they stop smoking.

I have ordered fountain pen parts that CLEARLY came from somewhere someone was smoking cigarettes. most of the package was plastic or metal, but there were a few tiny sheets of paper. talking, a few inches by a few inches. the total size of an index card or two. just those few sheets of paper reeked so fucking bad that first I got really sick, and I had to put those parts into a sealed container for months with some baking soda until they stopped smelling so fucking bad and stopped making me so fucking sick. I have no idea just how someone could feel comfortable selling something that stunk that fucking awful, but I guess the people who sent it to me either smoke too much to tell how much their products fucking reek, or they just genuinely did not give a single fuck.

cigarette smoke really, really, really stinks. even if it was from days, weeks, or months ago.

professors who have only interacted with other academics for years: “what do you MEAN you don’t know multi-variable calculus yet??”

professors with small kids: “thank you for not putting the lab equipment in your mouths when I turn my back”

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
