I would have a hard time hiring someone who came in for an interview and smells like a chain smoker. You know the people who you can smell walking past your office. It is distracting in the workplace.

As for nauseous smells, it may just be me but we cooked indian food at home a while ago and the curry doesn't bother me at all, but we used ghee and as soon as that stuff hit the hot pan the smell started to make me sick. I have never been bothered before but the smell was strong enough that I threw all the food out, took the garbage outside and then opened all the windows, turned on all the fans and went out for dinner and a movie.
