  I believe that if you want to smoke when you're traveling, that
you drive yourself. You can NOT smoke on the train, plane, or bus.

  While Amtrak does offer smoke break stops (if the train is on
time or early), if you're caught smoking on the train (especially
if you're under age), you're put off the train at the next town,
whether it's your stop or not...and they will likely get local
law enforcement to remove you. 

  I remember on one trip years ago that east of El Paso, at Sierra
Blanca, Texas...a 16 year old kid was caught smoking. They stopped
the train, and had law enforcement remove him. His ticket was
confiscated, his reservation was canceled, and he was on his own
to get to his destination.

  Years ago, in a bowling league, the cigarette smoke in there was
so thick, that you thought that you were getting cancer of the
eyeballs!! You could hardly see the lane or the pins, it was that
bad!!
