Would it smell worse than the smell the smoker already carries? I suppose it might, since some smokers are pretty careful not to get the smoke on their clothing. (You can still smell their lungs for like 5-10 minutes afterwards, though.)

(And... sorry to any smokers reading this. Not trying to shame you, but I want to be realistic about whether this would work or not.)

Yes - a lot worse. And, yes, I know that's saying a lot. Another way to put it is that the only time I ever didn't find spent butts to reek was back when I was smoking three packs a day and couldn't smell anything.

Ouch, fair enough.
