Why are BALPA so keen to avoid the possibility of toxic poisoning?
Are they possibly being paid by the other side?

If you have an issue with BALPA's stance on toxic cabin air I suggest you write to them and get yourself informed instead of posting BS like this!

4468, the definition of smoke seems rather similar to the definition of fumes. But I take it that isn't your understanding?
Whatever it is BA aircraft or their employees seem to be more aware of it than others and you'll probably find it is more of an employee psychological phenomenon than mechanical.

Due to have been operated by A320 G-EUYA, which is presumably the aircraft involved.
Reportedly it departed LIS yesterday morning and returned after reporting smoke on the flight deck in the cruise.
Libel
Whenever I read or hear the magic word I think this bloke has something to hide and is using the bully card for his own purposes.
I have seen bully boy tactics used many times; accident investigation, illegal operations, twits running short on fuel to name a few.
Having personally had lots of unknown illnesses including being given a week to live I suggest that you should considerably enlarge your reading list.
Perhaps you could go even further and support Pen International who are behind Lord McNally and his attempt to change the law.
Or you could talk to family members of those who have suffered at the hands of our industry - brain tumours from polar flights, Aerotoxic victims or just plain deaths because of bits failing which were known to be a problem.
Or maybe it is a question of intelligence and perhaps you have chosen a career in management?

A "psychological" or engineering problems solely confined to BA.
or
Other airline crews are not responding to smells in the aircraft in the same the same way.
or
Other crews are having issues but their companies are not openly reporting smoke/fumes problems to their regulatory authorities.
or
If other airlines are openly reporting problems these reports are not being routinely picked up by aviation news/rumour websites .
or
There's been a clumping of incidents at BA and normal statistical service will be resumed as soon as possible....
I guess that's really narrowed the options down

I agree with your deduction Wiggy. In all probability you are looking at either staff having prior knowledge of the occurrence of similar events that in turn is creating an employee psychological phenomenon or it is simply a cluster of events. One could feed off the other.
