<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not at all. Smokers can take it outside during breaks. Non-smokers shouldn&#39;t be exposed to other people&#39;s unhealthy habits.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don&#39;t see why. Coming from a guy who has smoked for the past 14 years, smokers can wait until the end of class to burn one down. If you were at work you can&#39;t always just go smoke. It doesn&#39;t work that way. Suck it up and Charlie mike.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had a friend in college that smoked. She was a gorgeous girl, but it followed her around. It was in her clothes and hair all the time, and it permeated across the aisle. I don&#39;t know that enough room would be available in a classroom to outrun the smell of cigarette smoke.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. It is a military bad practice. Smokers are notorious for breaking discipline in training ambush or on patrol. I had to have SNCO&#39;s and NCO&#39;s search for cigarettes prior to sending out patrols, listening posts, and observation posts. Spend enough time in the field and you can smell a smoker from a long way, ambushes and patrols blown again. It is legal so I couldn&#39;t stop them from smoking on their own time, (before morning quarters and after secure) but it got you and your chain of command up to and including me, a Saturday 25 miler step off at 1900, if you did it on my time, garrison or field.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>But what would the end goal be? Is it to smoke in the classroom? Is it so that one class gets a break while the other keeps pushing on? Why the need to segregate based on bad habits?<br /><br />Personally I don&#39;t think it would work ever. Because this cycle, you might have an even 50/50 mix of smokers and non-smokers to make it work. But what about next cycle when the mix is 75/25 or 25/75. Do you hold back a class from progressing until enough smokers or non-smokers are available to make the class work.<br /><br />Bad idea all around.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I joined the service in basic training we had to stand in formation with smokers (butt suckers) allowed to smoke and we could not leave.<br /><br />Their inconvenience about going outside away from the building does not bother me at the least. (I always hope it rains on them also.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If I&#39;m not mistaken, all government buildings are non-smoking (supposed to be tobacco free entirely). The question is a moot point IMO. Given the proven health risks of tobacco use, we should be encouraging members to stop using instead of making it easier to destroy their health.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The services should, in no way, facilitate the addictions of it&#39;s members.
