If the problem is peeling/curling off the bed, then yeah, that's a "draft" problem.. or at least the base cooling off too much.

To print ABS I have a desk lamp next to the printer, with an old incandescent bulb. The heat from the bulb is enough to help with ABS. That, combined with hairspray on the glass bed, I rarely get curling.
If the extruder is stripping(too hard to push) try turning up the nozzle (hot end) temperature.
