As someone who smoked/vaped daily for several years, it wouldn't bother me and if anything I would get excited like "where is that?" But after several months of voluntarily not using I actually did get to a point where I dislike the smell of it. Cigarettes, perfume, cologne, even strong laundry detergent still smell worse to me, but yeah weed is not a great smell.

It really hit me when I went to Manhattan for the first time since covid and the ratio of pee to cannabis stench had flipped rather strong to cannabis.

That's the stench of continuous public cannabis use, which even as a cannabis user, I don't like. Unless you are smoking in your house, the stench does not last.

You tend to lose a bit of your sense of smell right after you smoke. But no the stench is no different than vaping or regular smoking. Now I will say I live in a less populous area of Canada, but have been to Toronto/Montreal frequently, and haven't noticed it unless someone is actively vaping on the subway.

Cigarette smoke and car fumes are much worse.
