I chew on stand and have never had a deer respond unfavorably to it. They don't respond at all really. I also don't spit into a bottle but straight down onto the ground. I've had mature deer walk into me while I was chewing and come straight down under my stand within seconds of where I had just spit. For some reason it hasn't bothered them. I don't know if smoking would have the same outcome but I would say that the movement from your hands going back and forth from your mouth would do more damage then the smell of smoke itself.
