Quick answer: Yes, but usually less and more briefly than cigarette smoke. Flavored vapor often smells sweet or fruity and tends to fade within minutes to hours depending on ventilation. Heavy use in a closed room or car can leave a lingering scent and film on surfaces and fabric.
What affects the smell
- Flavor: sweet, candy, and dessert flavors are more noticeable than mint or unflavored.
- Ventilation: open windows and fans clear vapor faster.
- Volume: big clouds and chain use in small spaces linger longer.
- Fabric: clothes, curtains, and car seats can hold scent longer than hard surfaces.
Clothes
Scent on clothes usually fades with airing out; washing removes it. (Timing INFERRED — no authoritative study.)
Respect the rules
Many places that ban smoking also ban vaping. Follow posted rules, lease terms, and local laws.
