Several of the guys I fish with smoke while fishing. I quit decades ago. However an observation for you. I don't think if it matters to Crappie.
One guy I fish the most with smokes all the time. There have been locations where he caught fish and I didn't and locations when I caught fish and he didn't. We tried an experiment on several trips and made sure we both had the same exact set-up. Same bobber, slip knot, line diameter, hook, we both used big and small minnows and dropped our lines within 4" from each other, and we even switched spots every other fish. Didn't make any difference.

I do and have often wondered if it affected my catch rate. Really hard to tell, I have an uncle who used to smoke and caught fish, he no longer smokes but his catch is about the same when we have fished together as far as I can tell. This is a good question that I have thought about a long time.

I think the smell of gasoline on your hands is far worse than tobacco. I also worry about sun screen lotions.
Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

Used to smoke cigars when fishing alone. Had to quit for health reasons, but I never noticed any affects as far as the scent bothering fish or anything. I thought it was a nice way to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.
