I was disagreeing more with your second sentence, however as for the lingering, I also disagree. I have a couple contractors who were working in my warehouse and smoking skunk weed the whole time. (I know, I know, but they do good work.) The smell was gone the next day.

But you smoke a cigarette in an enclosed space and I’ll still smell it in a couple days. I think it must be the tar and other additives, and now I kind of want to find someone who smokes natural tobacco to come do it and see if I’m right.

It's less offensive of an order as the complete shit that's in cigarettes and it also doesn't stick to your clothing and linger in the same way.
