I wouldn't go quite that far WRT the last sentence. That's dependent on where the OP is located and what local codes and ordinances apply regarding occupancies subject to coverage with a fire alarm system. Most of the places where I've installed or serviced fire alarm systems undergo periodic regular inspections by code enforcement personnel, and if I observed the occupant doing something which adversely affected the system, I'd give them a friendly word once to make the problem go away. If I saw it a second time, I'd report it to the AHJ.
