Why do the SAS wear gas masks?

They only wear them when going into a terrorist hostage situation (like the Embassy siege in London) when tear gas and stun grenades are being used, and as a precaution against smoke from fires started when windows and doors get blown in.





In this situation the masks also helped to hide the identity of the S.A.S. troopers from the worlds press.





They do not run around the battlegrounds of Iraq, and Afghanistan wearing gas masks.Why do the SAS wear gas masks?
Err.. Howabout so that they don't breath in harmful gases.Why do the SAS wear gas masks?
I'm fairly certain he is making a reference to the computer game counter-strike.The SAS player model is wearing a gas mask.Therefore the only logical answer is that they wear it all the time in real life.
They get served a lot of beans?
A ref would be nice. Do they?
