Data had a pipe during various episodes in which he played Sherlock Holmes, but I don't recall if it was ever lit. IIRC he had a pipe at Cambridge Univ. in "All Good Things", also don't know if it was lit then either.
"No Smoking" signs in Trek Films - fun to discuss!

Thanks for posting that video, Mysterion. It's one of the few behind-the-scenes specials I hadn't seen before.
For anyone wondering, the text on the CAUTION sign in the transporter room reads:
1. No Smoking
2. Place feet in center of pad.
3. Keep extremities within transporter field.

Why? I mean, if you've removed all of the negative health effects with medical science, where is the incentive to not do something?
Exactly.
He had it lit in Lonely Among Us, when he was doing his "sherlock" in the conference room deducing that neither the Antican nor Selay were behind anything other than killing (and eating) one another.
Samual Clemens/Mark Twain smoked cigars in the TNG episode "Time's Arrow"
here's a good link that covers it: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Smoking

True, but is it ever said anywhere that they've done that? I don't remember.
^ In an episode of ENT, Dr. Phlox refers to lung cancer as an "easily curable" disease. I don't offhand recall any specific mentions of emphysema or cardiovascular disease.
They have a cure, picard chose to "go natural".
You know now that I think of it I agree with Meyer on the smoking detail, Trek needs more little details like that to make it seem more real.

Uh... sure...
Well, everyone knows that everyone smoked in Star Trek until "Little Green Men" when Quark went back in time and talked to those soldier guys about how bad smoking is. After that, it created an alternate timeline where smoking was phased out by the time of Star Trek.
Yep, that's the ticket.

Perhaps there is a alien species named 'smoking'? They do janitorial duty around the academy and starbases, they're not very smart and have been known to accidently get themselves beamed aboard orbiting starships.
So there are signs outside of secure areas and in transporter rooms to stop them?

Because it smells really gross?
Says you. I would disagree that my pipe or cigars smell gross, and there are many other tobaccos which do not.
I believe it was said by someone associated with Trek, though I can't recall who, that is wasn't that they couldn't cure baldness. It's that by the 23rd/24th centuries, no one would care whether they were bald or not.
Yeah, it was some guy named Gene Roddenberry. I think he worked on one or two of the productions.
Seriously, as a bald man, I always appreciated this opinion.
And as many tend to forget, there were plenty of bald men in the original series, just not the main characters. We even saw a bald Klingon in Trouble With Tribbles. So they did exist.
Nothing to do with cancer. Fires on space craft are catastrophic.
