If you're playing below your level, you can probably get away with it. I tend to smoke at my fish-heavy home games, and do well. However, the nights I stay sober I tend to do better.

While looking over the league stats for my monthly 3-table tourneys, I've noticed the potheads dominate the leaderboard. Of course, we also tend to smoke a bunch during the early insane unlimited rebuy period, slow down as antes kick in, and stop entirely on the final table.

I'll sometimes show up at a cardroom coming down from a buzz, and occasionally have a drink or two later on, but I've so far not gone out to the parking lot for a smoke mid-session as a lot of people do. But then, I'm still a small stakes player and am trying very hard to be a winner at it. Once I've logged enough hours to be comfortable with my ability, my attitudes may change.
