How I personally see it is that it should be restricted to the outside.

People can even camp outside when it's -40 deg (F or C, choose your favorite unit). As such, smokers can just dress up very warmly and get their 10min break outside.

Here's the issue:
- Nonsmokers suffer a lot more second-hand smoke when there is less ventilation.
- Having a house reek of smoke turns away people, and that is a more serious issue than attracting the attention of police.
- The smell of smoking is almost permanent.
- Smoking indoors poses a fire risk.
- If attracting police with the smoking is a real issue, you have other risk management issues to look at.
- Everyone knows it's unhealthy; you shouldn't do anything to encourage it. It's not unreasonable to make all of them satisfy their addiction outside.
