Does smoking in totally humidified B&Ms affect the exposed cigars on display?

Two of the three shops closest to me have cigars exposed to a smoke filled environment. I've never asked or even heard or read of this being discussed before so I'll have to ask it myself even if it may seem like a dumb question. Does smoking in in totally humidified cigar shops in any way affect the cigars that are exposed to the smoke?

I know old cigar smoke can get acrid and musty smelling... will the cigars in the shop start to taste like that too? I find the thought of other people blowing smoke all over cigars I'm about to put in my mouth slightly offputting.
I wonder if the policy varies between factories as well.
Because after all .... isn't the "reason" the DE Undercrown was created was that the workers/rollers were smoking too many LPs at the factory??
Yeah, It kinda was smokey. In fact the last time I was there the place was packed for an event but usually it's not too terribly bad. I prefer to smoke outdoors if at all possible but I like to go there and be sociable so I'll have to put up with other people's smoke when I do. But I've been wondering about all those cigars on display. I'm probably not refined enough to be able to tell any differences but I wanted to ask a larger audience. Common sense tells me it would affect the taste but I've never heard of it being discussed.
