I find that most times. if you are in a treestand at a decent height, deer can walk all around you without winding you.
If there is a major downdraft blowing your scent right on the deer's head, yea well, your gonna get busted.
I can't tell you how many times I have had deer, including bucks, smell where I walked and even smell the tree steps that I climbed. AND I'M IN THE TREE, LOOKING DOWN AT THEM!
Deer can tell by your scent: Where you've been, and where you are. They tend to react mostly to the "where you are" kind.
Hunting downwind takes care of that for the most part.

Marketing and the fact that you can convince the average bowhunter to buy ANYTHING as long as it is expensive and explains away a possible reason why he isn't as successful as he would like to be. There, I said it. Hammer away but we all know that it is true.
Here is a tip for scent control. Hunt down wind of the deer. Works every time.

And if smoking and peeing out of your stand isn't that detrimental then why is it that scent control is the number one thing stressed when it comes to bowhunting?

Chris Rock said it best:
"You can drive a car with your feet if you want to, but that don't mean it's a good idea!".
Can you kill deer while smoking in your stand? Of course. But you'd kill MORE if you didn't.

I see it in a similar way,
this arguement reminds me of pascals wager
(short version)
"It is better to belive in God only to find out there is no God in death, than to not believe in God only to find out in death he exists!"
so to translate the way I see it... Dan's wager
"It is better to belive in scent control only to find out in death there is no need for in bowhunting, than to not believe in scent control only to find out it was needed when you get busted!"
my .02 take it or leave it
