An old boy once told me when I was a lad that he'd had carp taking his fag ends off the surface in the margins when he'd been flicking them in. Might have been bull**** but I believed him at the time.

Ivan Marks, one of the UK's greatest ever match fisherman would go through 40 fags in a 5 hour match (really!
)
I wouldn't say it affected his catch rates...

I use gloves when using particularly fishy smelly glugged baits or some marine hail oil or similar, or when making up pva sticks or ground bait with the same in. I do have an overly sensitive nose though ...must have been a dog in a previous life

I'll be giving the gloves a miss then. In the same boat with a petrol stove, I always manage to get it on my hands lol. Question about soap though, what do you use to wash bait buckets and bait making equipment with? I usually try and use just hot water but I find when you start using cod liver oil in your bait etc it really does stick to the bucket. Last time I used it I washed the bucket out like 5 times and you could still smell it lol
I can re fill a stove easily without getting petrol on my hands. I carry fuel in a Sigg aluminium fuel bottle, i have the tops with the little spout on. No problem.
If you do get petrol on your hands, clean off with a big wipe, then a neutral wipe, done!
I carry a small tub of Big Wipes, as they protect against Weils disease, and the neutral wipes, to get rid of any soap or chemical smell.
