Anything that produces enough smoke to obscure vision will activate the dorm smoke alarm, I suspect.

Yes. This is why we'll be doing it in the OTHER dorm, where the smoke detectors aren't up to code and aren't in the individual rooms.
Besides, the alarm doesn't alert the fire department unless a pull station is activated. If a smoke detector goes off it just sounds the klaxon and the RA for that floor goes to check it out. If there's a fire, the station gets pulled and the building is evacuated. If it's yet another asshole smoking in his dorm room, he gets chewed out and his cigarettes confiscated. Then everybody makes fun of him.
My freshman year we did have some jerk who kept pulling the station at night. Once he did it every hour on the hour from 1 am to 7 am. When a station gets pulled, you evacuate the entire building until they confirm there's no fire (this is usually done before the fire department calls to see if they need to show up). So you have about 300 half-naked guys standing outside in the rain at temperatures just above freezing. Repeatedly. In one night. And they're not happy about it the FIRST time it happens.
Yeah. That was the last time the guy pulled the station. I don't know the details, but when his buddy ratted him out it was NOT pretty.
