Any burning organics will be different sample to sample, and any "smell" judgement of such will be subjective.

Almost objectively, we all have anecdotal memories of being overwhelmed by tobacco residue in a car, room, clothing etc.

^ Not like "someone just smoked a cigarette in here, yuck" but more like "this room is destroyed from 20 years of tobacco smoke, we can't sell this".

I would suspect that very very few people have ever sat in a car and said "someone has smoked cannabis in here for years, it's destroyed."

I don’t care about a car or home destroyed by tobacco use. Those are easy for me to avoid. Sitting on my porch and nightly taking in the smell of weed from a neighbor 50 feet away is a different story. That doesn’t happen with tobacco smoke. The smell of marijuana travels in a way tobacco doesn’t.
