I wasn't aware we needed citation. Here ya go:

I read a brief history of the man's life (brief because few people have written much about him during his life time) he was quite the potent force for the English language, hundreds of words and phrases invented by him alone in his lifetime, that we still use today isn't it?
It's possible I asked this question on this forum before, but here it is again. I was reminded of it by the "No Smoking Sign" thread in the Trek movie forum.
In all the 79 episodes of TOS, there is only one piece of evidence that anyone anywhere in the galaxy smokes. In which episode can this be found?

Was it the Wisps of smoke that appeared near McCoy during Sarek's Heart Bypass op? Or are we talking a more "trek universe" reference?
Well, like you said, it was a "No Smoking" sign, visible in the transporter room in "The Cage."
^You didn't specify that "The Cage" didn't count. You said "Of all the 79 episodes of TOS." Since "The Menagerie" is officially counted as only a single episode, you have to count "The Cage" to get it to 79. And of course most of "The Cage" is included in "The Menagerie."
Is this what you're looking for? I'm not sure, but it looks like there's a cigar in Bela Oxmyx's ashtray in the lower right:

If you include episodes set in the 20th century, there seems to be an ashtray and a cigarette case visible on Gary Seven's desk:

Any clips of this myth?
It's not a myth that there are visible wisps of vapor, only that it's smoke from a cigarette. I always figured it was intended to represent condensation vapor from the cold of the cryogenic heart procedure.
I can't find a photo of it at TrekCore. You can probably find the full episode on YouTube.
As far as Gary Seven's ashtray is concerned, it exists in 1968. Not part of the Star Trek universe. The cigar in "A Piece of the Action" could have resulted from the "contamination" from "The Book". Or simply their planet, "at the beginning of industrialization" is not technically part of the Star Trek universe.
Of course, this is speculation on my part -- subject to debate.

Or I could dig out one of my DVD's. I got the original set of 2 episodes per DVD.
You're correct, the myth part I was referring to was the claim that the smoke was from a cigarette.
Whaaaaa???? How exactly are you defining "Star Trek universe?" It sounds like you're using it to mean the Federation, which makes no sense whatsoever. The Star Trek universe is the entire continuity, the overall reality in which every ST production exists. That's what the word "universe" means -- not just some particular culture or era, but an all-inclusive reality.
Besides, that wasn't what the question asked. The specific trivia question as defined by ToddPence was to find the "only one piece of evidence that anyone anywhere in the galaxy smokes." Iotia is in the galaxy, and Bela Oxmyx is someone. Earth is also in the galaxy, and it was in the galaxy in 1968. The question didn't specifically exclude any time periods.
After watching a lot of episodes in quick time---I realized that the vast majority of crew deaths occur very early in the episodes----Jackson/Catspaw, Tormolen/Naked time, Thompson/By Any Other..., Latimer/ Galileo, Grant/Friday's Child 
So what crew member died 'latest' in the episode of their demise?
But you can't use Mitchell & Dehner because that's just too easy!!

I thought it was the surgical "hood" (whatever it's called) starting to malfunction because the ship was under attack. Didn't it quit altogether, and McCoy had to ask Chapel for an old portable heart stimulator?
The newly wed fellow from "Balance of Terror"? He died in Styles' phaser room didn't he?
Just watched it last night, The Doomsday Machine.
You're right, I watched two episodes the other night. The Doomsday Machine and The Corbomite Maneuver (which is correct isn't it?). We just see some mapping and Mr Bailey getting twitchy
