do they have a smoking lounge on ds9 like they do at airports. this is so important to me

OK guys seriously we need to resolve this one, not least because I'm stuck at my desk all day today. Resolve as in, obviously yes there's a smoking lounge, but where is it? Is it on the Promenade? Or on one of the habitat rings? Next to a seedy docking bay? Was it there when it was Terok Nor? Or did Kira get one sorted out during that brief window of opportunity she had in charge before Starfleet arrived with their whitened teeth and healthier options? Where are people getting their fags? Does the grocer stock them or is it under the counter through Quark? Or the florist? Is there a real fight over a Starfleet ban and Odo comes down in favour of the smokers because he can't smell anything and besides it's what Kira wants? But Keiko is furious with him because of the kids and Odo doesn't know what to do about that. Hang on, we need to solve the replicator problem... Yes, there's a Starfleet regulation about not replicating them. Who smokes a pipe and is it Dax?

regardless of where the smoking lounge actually is, i know in my heart that at some point during the starfleet cigarette ban, quark starts allowing indoor smoking at the bar to attract more business, with little shitty novelty ashtrays on the bar and everything. he gets rom to do something to the ventilation system to direct the smoke away from the bar, which ends up tripping every smoke alarm in the residential area of the station, which leads to keiko o'brien beating quark's ass at two in the morning for being the reason kirayoshi woke up after she'd just gotten him to sleep

If they do make Star Trek United (which is looking pretty unlikely right now) Shran absolutely has to be in it.
