Smokers tend to be wound a lot less tight than the "Cigarette smells OFFEND ME" types. What sort of person are you looking for? Someone free scent, or someone that does the job?

Quality of life is extremely high for me. Sacrificing any part of it better pay real dividends. Smelling cigarette smoke 8 hours a day will have a very high impact on the quality of my life. No thank you. Yes, it's nice to be able to control your environment, I agree.

There are exactly zero foul smells while working. The only things we use that have an odor are aluminum polish (smells really nice actually, it's sweet), Cerakote (vented booth, always wearing a respirator though the few times I've shot "40ml" of paint, Cerakote does smell nice too). Use a lot of acetone too. Love the smell of acetone in the morning. That's it.

I wish more people realized the, even unintended, negative impact they have on others.


Edit. There is one bad smell here. Heating chrome '68 vent window frames to melt the adhesive and remove the glass. That does smell. Always do that outside.
