A lot of people think that this song is about the Vietnam War. In fact, that's what I always thought it was about, too. But I did a couple of Google searches and discovered that it's not about Vietnam at all. It's about a fire that burned down a casino in Montreux, Switzerland. Deep Purple were scheduled to record their sixth album -- Machine Head -- at the casino, but someone lit a flare gun and the whole place burned down. See the Related Link for more information.

Should you smoke during war?

This is common sense. You shouldn't smoke in the first place, and if you smoke during war, then the enemy (if you are running away or something) can smell the smoke and follow you. Also, if you throw it away, the enemy can find it and track you down.
