What is considered smoking for the purpose of this poll?? regular cigarette smokers, more than 1 pack a week??
I smoke cigars once in a while, I will say probably 3-4 times a month, and I do not consider myself a smoker by any means, same way I would not consider somebody who has a couple of glasses of wine every other week a drinker.
I think if by smoker you mean regular smoker, probably the reason why some people will not train nor dive with them is because of medical reasons, since I dont see any other logical explanation for it. If that is the case, then you have to add to that list of no-no people overweight, with hypertension, diabetes, etc.

"a custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the nose, harmefull to the braine, daungerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse."

I smoked from 1956 (age 9) until October 31, 1987. Now cigarette smoke is obnoxious to me - very unpleasant - even nauseating. I have no objection to anyone else (other than my children or grandchildren) smoking, but I do ask that if on a boat you seek the downwind side, thank you.
As for buddying with a smoker, it's hard for 'em to smoke underwater, so it is no problemo.

In my first young adulthood I did smoke and dive, then finally quit and have been diving smoke free for nearly 30 years. In my 20's my lungs could handle it. Now I am sooooo glad I don't smoke any more.... or I might not be diving at all.
Since I'm an old fart, I wouldn't normally dive with someone who smoked... they'll need all the wind they can muster if they have to rescue me!

That was very clever, I loved it. Probably the gentlest way to say you prefere to dive with a non-smoker. Points for content and thoughtfulness. Well said.
