	~~Is strictly prohibited~~.		==Smoke control==
			Smoke control during fires is accomplished in buildings on earth using smoke proof barriers, fire walls and self closing dampers in openings. This will also be true on Mars, where habitats are likely to be separated into modules than can be isolated from one another in case of fire, or decompression. Distributed life support systems might be favored over centralized ones, at least as far as air distribution goes, to allow for segregation of an area subject to a fire. Access times to safe areas need to be calculated in the design process of Martian settlements, and this might limit some design possibilities.

This reduces the smoke by stopping the fire. Depending on future risk analysis, it might be possible to vent a sector that is subject to a fire to stop the combustion and exhaust the smoke. This must be weighted against the risk of accidentally venting an occupied space.

'''Smoke''' is created by fire, smouldering and some production processes. It is poisonous, and it is hard to filter out. In a [[Mars|Martian]] [[habitat]] the creation of smoke must be avoided.

==Tobacco==

Is strictly prohibited.

==Fire protection==

*Selection of fire-proof material for construction, as well as for thermal and electrical [[insulation]]
*[[Air#Oxygen reduction for fire prevention|Oxygen reduction]]
*[[automation|Automatic]] fire extinguishing system

==Production processes==
Some high temperature processes create smoke. Those processes must be taken care of. Vacuum technology and strictly separated rooms are inevitable. The following processes are affected:
*[[Welding]]
*[[Soldering]]
*[[Metallurgy]]
*[[Recycling]] of [[synthetic materials]]
