That's what I did in the Air Force during Basic Training. Our intrepid TI would only allow those who smoked to go outside for a break. So I bummed one, held it in my hand (unlit) until the break was over and then threw it away. No one ever asked for it back.

The drill was usually, "Ground your equipment and take a break in place. Smoke 'em if you got 'em."
