If someone smokes in house and your panties smell like cig smoke can it make your vagina have a bad odor?

No: A bacterial vaginal infection will give your vagina a bad odor so have it evaluated.

Bacterial vaginosis?: This has nothing to do with smoking by anyone. The most common cause of bad vaginal odor is bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of mostly normal bacteria. Trichomonas, an STD, also can do it, and women with BV are at increased risk for other STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. See your doctor ASAP for exam and testing. Your sex partner(s) also should be checked. Good luck!
