A mountaneer of my acquaintance said a lot of climbers smoke because - allegedly - it gets your body used to having less oxygen. He didn't smoke himself. Sherpas are physically adapted to working at altitude, so maybe it goes double for them.

I just can't imagine smoking being good for you at any altitude. I have asthma and being in high altitude sucks.
