Can I just point out that this person, Helle, is probably going to be a problem in future. I mean, what the hell does saying you get migraines have to do with a job interview? Isn't that called discrimination? When winter comes around, I think you'll have trouble with her.
I think that if you were asking them to stop doing a particular thing for an unreasonable mitve, fine, but it's not. Smoking is bad for people's health and even if you don't get migraines, I don't see why it should be allowed in an open-plan work place, if it's harmful to others (not even going to talk about annoying here).

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
