Years ago I used to go out for a night at the pub/club and came home reeking of smoke so I only wore clothes that were machine washable.

Therefore it is not the smoke so much but the type of item that smells.

If a seller states it comes from a smoke filled home then I will often still buy the item because I can weigh up the cleaning with the type of item and price I have to pay.

I just prefer to know.
