What is it about tobacco that causes its smoke to seep into walls and linger when other burnt plant material does not (at least not nearly to the same degree)?

Answer 1

A lot of the time the ciggarette vs weed conversation boils down to scale. 99.99% of weed smokers don’t consume as much as the average cigarette smoker, so the effects are more pronounced. If you smoked cigarettes 3 times a week or once a day, your house wouldn’t smell either. But most cigarette smokers don’t just have one ciggy a day
