yes, i can smell it off of them. One was a beginner that ultimately quit training after he couldn't give up smoking and would gas out at every shiai. The other is a french guy who trained since he was 5, he relied a lot on his precise timing, foot sweeps and positioning so he didn't need to move much.
I don't smoke wit cigarettes but my partner does. They don't smell like cigarettes unless they just smoked one. Granted they never smoke indoors.
Personally I take a quick shower before class and my gi always smells like laundry detergent. So even if I did smoke before I left for class I doubt anyone would smell it.

Many. Including high level players (although there are definitely fewer smoking players at the high level than there used to be).
