   Depends(tm)...if you're in California, they use a cover on the pump nozzle   
   to seal the nozzle to tank connection. Fumes don't flow as readily in that   
   case.   
      
   Texas pump nozzles don't have that feature, so yes, smoking could be   
   detrimental to your health in more ways than one, as well as it is   
   illegal to do here as well.
