all are going to love this quote from "Sound Truth and Corporate Myths: The LEGACY of the 
EXXON VALDEZ Oil Spill" by Riki Ott, Ph D. It basically says that smokers did much better than non-smokers.

[quote]Worker Health Survey

During summer 2002 Annie O’Neill, a graduate student at Yale 
Medical School’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, 
conducted an internship with ACAT and AFER, the two nonprofit 
organizations investigating the health effects of the EVOS 
(Exxon Valdez Oil Spill) cleanup. She conducted independent research 
on Exxon’s cleanup and an investigation of self-reported chronic 
health problems among EVOS cleanup workers for her master’s thesis. [...]

She found EVOS workers in jobs with high oil exposure to oil 
fumes,mists, and aerosols have a greater prevalence of self-reported 
symptoms of respiratory problems, neurological problems and 
chemical sensitivities than unexposed workers.Among workers with 
high oil exposure, nonsmokers reported a greater prevalence of 
symptoms of chronic bronchitis than smokers.Symptoms of chronic 
airway disease included sleep apnea, pneumonia, other lung condi- 
tions, chronic sinus and/or ear problems, asthma, persistent hoarse- 
ness. [end quote]
