“I remember old threads claiming smoking didn't stink.”

You need to qualify that with the year you are talking about.

I grew up with many family members that smoked, and there was no smell to anything that had been in the room. Of course this was in the 1950’s and early 60’s.

A funny thing happened when the ‘low tar’ and ‘low nicotine’ cigarettes started showing up - smell. I have a sister in law that smokes like a chimney and so help me you can smell her house from the backyard. Likewise I have memories of playing checkers and riding on a tractor with my grandfather while he smoked his hand rolled Bull Durham - and no smell at all.

I remember the stench from the 1950s of my family smoking. After about 30 minutes there would be a layer of smoke floating in the air about 4 feet off the floor.

And Yes it still stunk. KOOL cigarettes and PRINCE ALBERT.

There is a direct correlation between nose size and lying.
