The smoke is likely the bigger problem. Remember that cornsnakes only have one lung, so the smoke will affect them much more than you. Granted, they breathe slower with a slower metabolism, but I still wouldn't chance it. No smoke!
On the practicing (correct?), I would keep it to a minimum near the snake afer a meal for a couple of days. as long as regurges don't develop and s/he continues to eat regularly, there is likely no problems. If she regurgs or stops eating, then stress from the vibrations MAY have platyed a part in that. Consider it one of the husbandry factors to check if you see such problems - right up there with temps, etc.
