Both. He’s acclimated to those conditions, so that part isn’t a problem, but I really don’t like cigarettes.

It's a bit more than just acclimatized to the conditions it's genetics.

Sherpa is a subset of the Nepalese population on the Tibetian plateau that has developed over 30,000 years. During that time lots of adaptations to higher altitudes have developed. Given that the plateau averages 4500m high (approx 15,000") is a pretty strong selection pressure environment.

Yeah, Sherpa is doing a flex, pretty decent chsnce the other climbers would actually asphyxiate themselves if they tried.
