Many police forces have banned smoking in exercise yards for some time, except in exceptional circumstances. Northumberland's policy is fairly typical

The Met Police have banned smoking on all premises, including yards, custody cages, garages etc.
There was apparently concern about prisoners being denied cigarettes and the possibility of challenges being made about the conditions they were held under and the effect on investigations, but advice was sought which stated it did not breach human rights to deny a cigarette.
