It depends on the retreat house you are staying at, but usually they do not allow smoking.

What happens on Kairos retreats?

I just got back from a kairos retreat and it was truly an
incredible and life changing experience. The kairos experience
cannot be put into words, you simply have to witness it for
yourself. Each activity builds upon the previous one and taken out
of context seems unextraordinary. Secrecy is often a word
associated with kairos, however confidentiality should be used in
its place, as it doesn't have a negative connotation. The
participants are asked to not share their experience with their
peers, for it would ruin the experience of the retreat for them.
They are also asked to keep what is shared at kairos, at kairos
(however parents, do not be alarmed. If something shared puts
someone's well-being in jeopardy then it will be handled after the
retreat is over). I am a junior in high school and my faith has
never been stronger. I have more self respect, i have closer
friendships, and i now long for and desire a relationship with God.
I'm sure it depends on who is hosting the retreat, but i want to
assure everyone that everything taught at the kairos I went on was
in line with what the Catholic Church teaches. I also want everyone
to know that they don't brainwash you on kairos (as some people
might say).

What does the no smoking sign on an airplane mean?

Not very long ago smoking was allowed during the flight. It was
however not allowed during landing, take off and during refuelling.
A no smoking sign was therefore switched on and smoking was only
allowed when the captain switched off the sign. Presently, no
smoking is allowed in most flights, but the lights are switched on
to remind the passengers that smoking is not permitted
