I think the movie you're referring to is World without Sun (1964), and the scene (which I too remember) takes place in the "Starfish House", at about ten meters depth. They were breathing ordinary air continuously pumped down to them. So there was plenty of ventilation (although given the two atmosphere pressure, the cigarettes would have burned more quickly).
