#1 Wow, you mean they didn't have it already? I would have thought smoking would have been banned long ago, not for eco-reasons but for the limited fresh air.

#2 Not only fresh air, fire on-board a submerged sub is a very bad news.

#4 When I was a swabbie (66-70) there was no smoking except at designated times, places and preferably on deck (Out in the open air) as I never smoked, I generaly Ignored the whistling of the Bo'sun's Pipe and the announcement "The smoking Lamp is now Lit", so this is NOT new.

#5 I too am surprised that they hadn't already banned smoking.

#6 I admit, it probably is overdue for submariners, but if they try that for the Carriers, get ready for lots of report chits.
