I doubt you're going to have many smokers so vehement about their rights that they leave. They should be used to it...you can't smoke in just about any restaurant, commercial building, or home now anyway.
Personally, I'd transfer to a school where it never gets that cold, but to each their own.

I can't speak for the given campus, I don't even know what school we're talking about, not that it matters. However, where I'm from avg parties are 3-500, small is 100 & big is 1000-1500. You can tell people not to smoke, but they'll just go to someone else's party instead.

You really have to balance and mitigate to appeal to your guests, or they won't show up. At that point, it doesn't matter what the house smells like cause you're not going to survive anyway.
