I inquired further and she is a non-smoker.  I imagine that living in 
the city near campus and taking the 28X out to her internship at the
airport would be OK.  I don't know Virginie personally, but I respect
Dr. Kanoun's judgement (Karama can be reached at kanoun@grieg.laas.fr if
you wish to check that reference).
