Smoke alarms

Does a new lighting circuit have to include smoke alarms.
It’s not a full rewire of the property.

Am I missing something here? What's a new lighting circuit got to do with a smoke alarm circuit?
Few would disagree that anyone who doesn't have working smoke alarms in their property is an idiot, but I can't see the connection.

but I can't see the connection.

That because it's inside a non maintenance enclosure.

We need more info….. just for entertainment purposes….

Is this an argument between colleagues? Between contractor and client?
