I am certain that this will drastically cut the lawsuits concerning second hand smoke on submarines, increase the longevity of our submariners, and save the government countless millions of dollars on litigation and healthcare costs.
I’m not making a “second-hand smoke” argument. I’m saying that the less crap you put into the air on a sub the less work the HVAC system has to do. Given that a sub’s atmosphere can be a completely closed system with no outside ventilation (either fresh air in or exhaust out) for literally months at a time you might want to limit any unnecessary load on it that you can.
For a surface vessel I agree. For a submersible I'm not so sure.
