Most Connection Airports I've been to have a AirSide Smokers room(s), with a dedicated smoke evacuation fans. So Smoker can get there Nicotine fix before there next flight.
Yeppers, there is a room for you to go when you want to draw poison into your lungs
Airports, shows, restaurants etc are smoke free for a reason
(And, yes I was a smoker. 2-3 packs of Camels a day from the age of 9 to 20. I quit 50 years ago for ME. You can do what you want to yourself away from me)
Stunning that anybody with a fully functional cranial cavity would even ask this question in the first place. Smokers engage in an activity that causes cancers and countless other serious heath concerns. The fact that they are "sharing" these health risks with others in the vicinity of their "cloud" is well documented. The fact that smokers are allowed to spread their disease, in any public venue, in a civilized society should be in question. Whining because it's so difficult to find a place to spread your toxic waste in an airport is a truly WTF? event. Smoking should be allowed in private locations where smokers are exposing absolutely no other human beings to their toxic waste, and impacting no other individual with their disgusting behavior, which as you might imagine is absolutely nowhere in pubic, airports included.
Depends on the city entirely. For instance MSP is definitely a smoke free airport and pride themselves on it.
SLC & ATL have smokers lounges. PHX and EWR have designated smoking areas outside the building. DEN only has one in the C terminal and requires a 1 drink minimum.
I’d do you one better. I’d ban all smoking outright, no more cigarettes. You won’t get thrown in jail but you will be fined.
In Korea some of the clubs had designated smoking rooms and I just can’t imagine walking into one and all the 2nd hand smoke filling my lungs and being trapped on my clothing.
I can’t explain how bad I hate cigarette smokers. They’re cancer sticks and only idiots want their bodies to have cancer. They want an early preventable death, fine, but not me.
You do realize that smokers save taxpayers money in the long run as they die roughly 10 years sooner, less drain on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security. Where's the thanks?
There's no absolute truth yet that 2nd hand smoke does the damage it does. Many grew up in smokey houses during the 60's/70's and suffered no ill effects.
Now then, it was stated that if you grew up in Los Angeles during the 60's-80's it was the equivalent of smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. And where was the outrage? And with the fumes from the airplanes at Airports, what are we really breathing in?
If you're a true patriot in the U.S., you would, at least, occasionally use some tobacco products. Afterall, our freedom in this country is attributed to tobacco, freedom from the Brits. What the nicotine-addicted Brits really wanted from us was our tobacco fields, including the tobacco fields of Washington and Jefferson. When we staged war against the Brits, Benjamin Franklin was sent to Paris to arrange a loan to help oust the British, they demanded 5 million pounds of tobacco as collateral for the loan, as the French were as addicted to nicotine as the Brits. So without that loan, and collateral, we might still be under British rule.
Let's not forget, for a minute, that tobacco is an herb, like marijuana, with medicinal properties. One day, tobacco will go the same route as the rediscovery of marijuana. Watch and see!
If I had my way, I would ban smoking period. What a stupid, disgusting, unhealthy habit !
Because banning alcohol and drugs worked so great. All a ban on cigarettes would achieve is a whole new criminal enterprise dedicated to the smuggling of cigarettes into the US. Instead of buying your cigarettes at the corner store you'd buy them from the street corner pusher. And no, I don't smoke. I find it to be disgusting habit, but I also understand banning them would never work.
Such a typical attitude from a self-centered smoker!
I once was on a flight that was so saturated with smoke that my dad spent the last hour of a cross-country flight in the bathroom, throwing up. After that, when he had a business meeting on the west coast, he had to intentionally book connecting flights so that he could take "breathing breaks" on the ground. He tried for three separate legs so he would never have to be in the air for more than 2 hours at a time, and consequently what should have taken him 5 hours to accomplish (get to LA from the east coast) took him 10 or 12.
You think that was OK - to inconvenience someone to that degree - just so you can smoke?
