A few articles to substantiate its true and in my own personal experiences with dealing with food prep and how smoking affects the taste and smell relates directly to how your food is seasoned and well it tastes.
My passed Sous-chef's who smoke compared to those that don't, their food seasoning is affected and off for the chef's that smoke where as the food is not seasoned properly or et al. Hence the reason I don't hire smokers ever.
You should believe it, its true!
