Oh Man!! Do NOT smoke while reloading or anywhere near smokeless powder or primers. I know a man that burned down his house, and killed his wife's dogs because he broke rules:Inadvertently hold one's breath when doing precise tasks...
Carbon Monoxide levels too high in ambient Air if a Furnace or Gas Water Heater is not vented right ( as a previous post alluded)...
I always Smoked when doing re-loading...but, I keep the Ash Tray on a different Table, to the side, and, to the rear of me...next to the Cuppa Coffee.
Talcum Powder on the just Soap and Water washed finger tips will pretty well prevent any Lead transfer when inserting Lead Bullets into Cases...far as that goes...as would a light coating of Hair Spray...if one wants.
Usually it's the ALOX or other which would impart a dark stain hard to wash off, rather than the Lead proper, I think...
He was smoking and drinking scotch while reloading.
DON'T do either, you are asking for disaster.
Off the soapbox now.
