When they (the gummint) make it unlawful for everybody, then it would be OK to tell the military to quit. Otherwise, keep your damn nose out of it! There are already rules and regulations covering when and where people can and cannot smoke. These people are in very stressful situations and nicotine along with the ritual of smoking can serve as a relief. In a perfect world no one would smoke (or drink for that matter) but smoking is now deeply in-grained and the only way out is a long period of education. Outlawing it would be as successful as Prohibition or laws against pot are now.
