Haha who knows how true it is, but it’s actually a table in the bar of the ship (it also carried passengers) that has an ashtray built into the center because, 60s. There was even an ashtray in the waiting room of the sickbay lol.
So much of it reminded me of Star Trek: the ship’s purpose was to show the peaceful use of atomic power so it would show up somewhere and host local dignitaries and ‘show the flag’. Very much reminded me of TNG in that respect too. The captain was also expected to entertain in his cabin.

I would have loved it if the captains chair had an ashtray built into the armrest

Eh it was the 60s there was equally a chance McCoy would prescribe them for low oxygen environments.
