It was just the opposite for us - we started with a requirement that people smoke outside. That went to people smoking in the corridors, and finished up with "just don't smoke in my room, OK?"
Of course, we also had a guy who went from a carefully rationed one clove cigarette a night, to two clove cigarettes a night, to two packs of Marlboro's a day over the course of our deployment.
I'm not advocating smoking by any means. I'm a nonsmoker myself. If you're in tents then I would assume absolutely no smoking for obvious reasons. Guess I would just assume people wouldn't smoke in their sleeping quarters. Is that naive of me? Maybe I guess. To designate specific outside places to smoke just seems a bit lame to me. I got a link or email of a hysterical video from one of my guys called Cpt Wedley. You ever seen it? OMG it's really funny but it has a smoking segment in it. I don't have a place to host it but if you're interested I'll email it. It's about 2mg.
The main reason there are designated smoking areas is so the butts won't wind up all over the camp. The best thing they sould teach smokers in basic is how to field strip their damn butts and put what's left in their cargo pockets.
