I worked for some years as a bike messenger and must have huffed in tons of smog and diesel fumes during that time, buried in downtown traffic and huffing up our steep hills. I'm probably impervious to just about everything after that. Except perfume and it's amazing how people dump it on themselves - men's cologne is the worst for me - it ties my lungs into a knot and I have no idea why. I'd rather have something smell honestly of smoke than having it smell like smoke covered up with Fabreez.
As for the questions - I answer them all unless they're just plain rude. Even people who write to admonish me to 'pack carefully' despite the fact that I've been doing this for years - they've probably gotten some of the horrible packing jobs I've gotten down through the years so I don't blame them for being gun shy, and it's my pleasure to assure them that their item will be packed with TLC.

yeah, those that ask for specific packaging AFTER they purchase get on my last nerve too...I typically point out to them that they should make their demands known BEFORE they bid/purchase.
