Many of the people I've worked with smoke, and I don't care one bit, as long as they do it outside, the smell of cigarette smoke makes me ill, literally...honestly I wouldn't want my dogs to have to breathe it in either. I would not refuse to adopt out a dog if the people smoked though.
My thoughts exactly.

After years and years of choking over cigarette smoke, I finally got my parents to smoke outside. They rarely smoke in vehicles anymore when I'm with them too.

About the dog's coat smelling... YUCK. I can't stand getting near my dogs if my parents just hugged them/petted them. They could have smoked a cigarette 10 minutes prior to touching the dogs and they dogs STILL reek afterwards. I don't enjoy the smell at all, which is why I don't smoke. It's just gross.
