Thank you, tooky.

Yes, nice to have a covered porch area where an ashtray can sit out. Better than smoking in the house.

Smoke drifts downwind in even the most imperceptible breeze, so take into account your prevailing wind direction. We once had a neighbor who sometimes smoked outdoors, always in the finest weather when everyone wanted to be outdoors, and it drifted into others' gardens and porches and drove them indoors. The neighbors were forced against their will to pay a high price for his enjoyment of a nice smoke.

Smoke also drifts upward. Nineteenth-century mansions with smoking rooms tended to put them in an upstairs corner room with a high ceiling and good natural ventilation. Consider adapting an upstairs porch such as you see on a Queen Anne house. Or adapt an upstairs room by adding a strong ventilation fan that goes out through the roof.

Lastly, the reason for smoking jackets and caps was not solely to look cool in old movies: it was so the smell of stale smoke was not so strong on the smokers' clothes when the smoking clothes were left behind.

Good luck finding a solution that works for you and your household.

I didn't realize people still smoked in 2018 with all we know about how horrible it is.

The act of smoking has saved lives...many times during my working years it was either grab a cigarette or strangle someone.

I would have a cushioned chair and a tall old school ashtray they used to have out in public. If it was strictly the smoking area maybe some collectable stuff to hang up like old lighters and cigarette cases. Make sure it has shade, and possibly and outlet in case you plan on being out there awhile to charge your phone or what not, maybe even a mini fridge or wine rack. Somewhere extending out from the master bedroom or your office would be ideal or near the garage. You need a table too for your coffee, sunglasses, ect. a nice wooden box in the center of the table would be nice to have a place to set your pack and all that in. If it could have something like a sliding door, with screen instead of regular door would be more casual.
