Can A Non-smoker Taste Nicotein On Someones Cheeks?

I am a 38 year old smoker with a 9 month old baby. Today my crazy in law kissed the baby. Next thing we know she claims she could taste nicotein on his cheak. Yes i do smoke indoors in one room only and the baby s exposure is minimal. My question is can a non-smoker taste nicotein on someones cheeks?

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

Yes it is quite possible to taste the nicotine on some one's cheek. Once you exhale after smoking it remains in the environment and can be deposited.
Nonsmoker are more sensitive to the taste of nicotine and they are more liable to detect it.

Thanks
