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)?

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

Nicotine is a relative small & oily molecule that can diffuse through alot of stuff, including your skin.

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

Mostly, it’s frequency of use. I indulge in pipe tobacco and cigars, but not daily. The only time you can smell tobacco on me is the day I light up.

My wife and daughter use cannabis a couple or three times a day, and you can definitely smell it on them.

Use the other things you mentioned as frequently as one would cigarettes, and you would definitely have lingering odors.

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).
