Paige forbade Carrie from smoking too. While she usually let Carrie do whatever she wanted, smoking was strictly banned because she hated the smell of it. If Cain smoked, Paige would make him spend the night in the study.

Paige also told Carrie that she was to become the York family’s missus in the future. If she liked to smoke, it could be disadvantageous to her plan to marry into the family as the Yorks might not like it.

In the end, Carrie neither smoked nor married into the York family.
