If he is old enough to buy a flat, he's old enough to decide which one.

Not a smoker and not intending to tread over anyones freedom of choice. But - smoking indoors to my mind would create an unpleasant atmosphere even for a smoker or any visitors. I wonder if it is likely to trigger the fire alarms and for that matter is it prudent to smoke indoors in terms of fire risk? In some buildings smoke travels to other units, but I'd also imagine that it would be poor form to smoke out of windows or on balconies if it is likely to pollute the environment for others living in close proximity.
Curious as to what the arrangements would be - smoking area on the roof or outside the building?

You definitely didn't grow up in the '80s like me lol. Know things have changed (thankfully), but I'd still be surprised if people weren't allowed to smoke in their own flat.

I own a flat in a block of 6 and there is no smoking allowed anywhere in the block - and that includes inside our own flat.

Very surprised but ta for confirming
