Yes.

A fine politician you'll make.
I agree mind you on the point that it isn't harmful in open air. Yet to your original point I still feel a negative impact is still there.

My answer perfectly matches the question you asked in the context of the thread. It may not have matched the question which you intended to ask, but I cannot reasonably be expected to make inferences based upon oblique implications.
