Are deer scared away by cigarette/cigar smoke?

I was just wondering because I've hunted a lot and I'm always smoking a cigar when hunting. However deer have come really close to me and I've gotten the best shots as well, all the while smoking a cigar as I'm shooting. But I'm wondering if they get really close, is it possible they could've gotten closer had I not been smoking? One time I was in a tree stand, a deer came to within 20 yards of me, looked right at me (while I was smoking) and then it turned to the side and walked along the side of my tree. Could it have smelled the smoke? I've also heard other deer hunters say that they're not deterred by the smell of tabacoo, but I'm looking for some opinions.
