If the question is, "What can I do to reduce how much Sharpie fume I breathe in?"
the answer is this: Small electric fans are really your only bet. If the Sharpie company could eliminate the foul (?) odor, believe me, they would. These fans are inexpensive ($5-$20) and come either battery-powered or with a cord. Position the fan on the side of your paper opposite your non-dominant hand. (on the left side of your paper if you're right handed, etc...) so that the fan blows toward your dominant hand, away from you at an approx. 45 degree angle.
Also, you can practice taking a deep inhale with your face turned away, then a slow exhale while you write/draw with the Sharpie.
