OH, GOD, I KNEW IT!!! Everyone can smell it! EVERYONE! My anxiety was right!
Odor elimination sprays help but your best bet is changing your shirt and washing your hands/face at least
It's not too strong after a little while, just give yourself time if you need to. But most people just don't care as long as you don't make it a big deal.
Oh, always full shower and a change of clothes which have not had direct contact with the designated smoking area, yes. I also lean toward muskier/spicier scents, so that's an extra layer of coverage.
My main worry, honestly, is with the neighbors. I'm not going full bordello, no noise past 10PM, no IMAX at home, etc. Don't even much like having people over. But as sp3ctr4l pointed out a few comments down, self-righteousness is unfortunately prevalent...
