I knew a man who had tourette syndrome. I dont know if there is levels of the desease, but in his case, he could control it to a certain level. Like for example, if he would shout out "fuck" all the time, he would learn how to slightly change the word and only shout out something that sounded like 'hut'.

I do remember that he would have a hard time controlling it though if he would find himself in a stressful situation (i.e. teaching a class full of kids) which would make sense that people with Tourette will have the common sense to not do jobs that implies talking in public IMO.
