a. warm the helmet and lens first, your warm breath on the cold glass is
what causes the fogging.
b. use a MIG instead of stick welder, there's no smoke.

Be careful with that MIG. Unless you are using flux cored wire, it may be
difficult to get good penetration and fusion without preheating the metal.
And even with FCAW, I'd heat it up first with a torch, otherwise it doesn't
do as well. Steve's right about the smoke part, though.
