Travelcat - perhaps you did not understand my comment about people leaving RSSC to cruise on Oceania - we met several non-smokers on Oceania who had sailed on RSSC previously and tried Oceania because their strict smoking policy does not allow smoking in staterooms or most public areas. There are two designated areas for smoking on Oceania - one small area near the pool and one isolated corner of their Horizon's Lounge. Regent's policy is that smoking is allowed in one lounge, the cigar club, the disco lounge, staterooms and the casino.
