After my father quit smoking he realized just how gross most deodorant and perfume actually smells.

He spent ten happy years pointing that fact out to people in elevators who believed that only tobacco and garlic annoyed others.

I bought a pair of blue jeans for my son from ebay. When I opened the package I was enveloped in cigarette fumes. I ran outside with the box before the smell could get all over the house. The jeans were in good condition and smelled fine after we washed them. I'm sure the woman who sold them to us had no idea.

All that being said, the woman in the elevator was definitely rude.

My father wasted about the same number of years I did by smoking when he was 20-25. He never let up on me when I was smoking and he had a nose for everything that he didn't like. He died 4 years ago at 83. He was my hero, sounding board for ideas and my best friend.
