Lignin

Lignin is the "sticky" substance found in wood smoke.
It is the element the causes the fragrance of smoke to adhere to everything it comes into contact with.

Lignin is the reason the smell of smoke is present on your person and clothing for days after setting around a campfire.

Lignin is the "carrier" for Phenol and other antibacterial substances found in wood smoke.

Lignin is the reason certain woods are utilized in the smoking of meats.
Aside from added flavor, certain woods such as apple, hickory, mesquite, and cherry are high in Lignin. Due to the high Lignin content, these wood types are ideal for the preservation of meat by killing living bacteria and limiting the life of introduced bacteria. It does this by encasing the meat in an impenetrable layer. The same holds true when you smoke up your hunting clothes. You are encasing your hunting clothes in a multi-layer antimicrobial that will become stronger as it gets wet (sweat) so it keeps working long after your hunt is over.
