Schmokin
I notice that everyone here seems to be wholly against smoking on an aircraft and in fact I am of the same view.
However, as a broker, we have a number of clients who specifically request smoking aircraft so therefore have to provide even if the cost is vastly higher. That said, whilst some clients specifically request a "smoker" there are actually less clients who specifically request a "non-smoker".
It is very rare that a client complains about a stale smoke smell in the cabin environment, I can recall only two times in nearly 20 years. These days when air freshners and cleaning products are so good and effective, the crew/ground staff should take care to make sure the cabin is cleansed to the best of their ability - that doesn't mean popping to the local Texaco to pick up a magic tree or Laura Ashley for a a packet of Pot Pouri enroute to report !
