Older comics safety?

Hi all. I have a nephew who is just getting into the turtles. He is 11 and wants to get into reading some of the comics. So, in having a 2nd print # 1 and a bunch of others from back in the day I am planning on giving them to him. Now, his mom on the other hand is the problem.

See, he is asthmatic. Therfor his mother is CRAZY when it comes to him getting things if they are not brand spanking new. I know for a fact that Kevin Eastman has been a smoker for a long time. And I also know that back in the day there wasnt a factory sending these issues out to comic shops all over the world. Eastman and Laird just got these printed and brought them back to thier house.

So, should I be worried that these books have been around a Ciggarette? I would give him some reprints that were printed later on but all I have are original books. They do smell a little funny but they are old comic books... Opinions?
