The smoking thing I think is more important just because if I am in a hide or at looking for birds I don't appreciate having to breath in another person's smoke, especially since I and many others are sensitive to it.Mammals though I would imagine would pick up and run off at the first sign of smoke, so if you are also into other critters it might be a problem.</blockquote>
