That's one of the details that made the movie "Apollo 13" so 'real',
and was one of the few details missed in the book/movie "Hunt for Red
October"[1]... The prevalance of ashtrays and smokers.

[1] OTOH the Russians were shown as smokers in the movie, but by that
time, smokers were being demonized here in the US. So that may have
been used as white hat/black hat sybolism.
