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)?

Question

Marijuana, smudging sage or cedar, paper, incense, etc have a pretty strong smell but they dissipate much faster than tobacco smoke especially cigar smoke

Answer 1

I’m not sure it does. People need to smoke a lot more tobacco than weed to get its effects. About 1 in every 4 cigarette smokers in the US smokes at least a pack (about 20 cigarettes) a day, whereas smoking 20 joints a day would be reserved for Willie Nelson level potheads (and also quite expensive).
