I had difficulty following this, and would be interested to see a version with all the words left in and all the thoughts completed. As it is, too many of the wrong words are missing -- unnecessarily, in this comm, which has a limit of 300 words per entry -- and there are punctuation issues as well. Overall, it reads as if English is not your first language. If so, congratulations for attempting a drabble, which is tricky even for a fluent speaker. However, it's difficult to give any useful suggestions for improvement when I can't figure out what the meaning is supposed to be. This is definitely something that can be improved with time, practice, and good instruction (a teacher and/or competent beta-reader). In the meantime, you're probably safer not trying to be quite so brief.

Also, two vocabulary pointers:
1) "whiff" refers to smelling something, by inhaling through the nose, such as a flower's scent; there are better terms to use for the way one inhales cigarette smoke (which goes through the mouth), and
2) "to don" something is "to put it on"; the process of donning an item stops once everything is in place and all the necessary fasteners are fastened. After that, you are wearing the item, or dressed in it, or some other accurate and appropriate term.
