I smoke outside or in the garage by choice and out of respect. Definitely don't have to ask for wifeys permission and most certainly could if I wanted to. I also personally choose not to smoke inside due to smelling up the place (I smoke several bowls a day when I'm home).
I have always smoked indoors: my parents' home, college, work, home, etc. M'lady is very supportive. She's bought me pipes and tobaccos. She was 19 when we got married, and was conducting anti-smoking clinics at her church. When we decided to marry, I told her I only had one requirement. I said I had been smoking a pipe since I was 13, and smoking in the house since I was 16. I said "I'm not going to be one of those guys who goes outside to smoke his pipe while holding a umbrella in the rain. I smoke in my house" I said if she could handle that, we'd never have a problem. She said, "Okay", and we've never had a problem.
After a lot of discussion, tests, and compromise, I smoke inside. Only in my basement study, with heavy weather stripping, large Blue Air filter, two circulating fans, all doors shut, and a partially open window. I live in Iowa and going outside for a smoke in winter is, at best, problematical. I've got a couple computers, my television, my fly-tying desk, and my macro-photo station there so live is pretty good.
I smoke couple of times a week indoors. I also did so when my wife was alive, she was a peach and did not object. Wonderful woman.

Jiminks, that's a real love story right there!
I don't smoke in the house. I have small kids and I want them to at least become teens before their house becomes a smoking lounge. I smoke in the garage, which is heated and serves as my workshop/study/hermitage. I would like to smoke in the TV-room at night, but it'll have to wait at least 10 years. For the kids.

Kids are always home when you are. They are also always either sick or demanding attention. If not, they are smearing butter all over your TV-screen or eating dish-washer tablets. No time for a nirvana smoke then.
I share @workman 's attitude:
Still figuring out what to do at the new digs. For now, outside works fine....
At our last house, I converted a two-story barn into a workshop downstairs and library/study upstairs. It worked great. I didn't have a serious ventilation system but a heat pump and lots of windows did a pretty good job of keeping it fresh.

I much prefer to smoke outside for the scenery and airflow, but Michigan winters makes that less than ideal most days between December and March. Currently I live with some housemates who smoke other selected herbs (well, just one really) from time to time, and they have acquiesced to my smoking indoors on occasion. Out of respect, though, I've limited myself to my better smelling blends, like C&D Pegasus, PS Cubecut, and C&D Yorkshire. One of them recently commented that Pegasus reminded them favorably of the warm woody smell of a sauna. Someday I might bust out a lat bomb just to see how many of them think the house is burning down.
