I smoke but have never missed hands in a tourney to fire down a lung dart. I do miss a decent number of hands in cash games going to smoke, usually getting up every second or third pass of the button. I am usually not playing in long round tourneys though. If I was playing a 2hr round tourney with breaks after every 3 I would without a doubt miss some hands for that nicofix.

Tran has also gained thousands of dollars because smoking increases your attention and relaxes you for a while.

I really have no opinion on this subject, but I would just like to say I LOVE NONSMOKING POKER ROOMS.

Assuming An Tran has an edge at the average tournament table this would probably be true, because the more he is at the table, the more he is in +EV situations.
