i travel alot, and i have been dissapointed by the number of airports with no smoking inside. specifically, the major hubs seem to be first to ban it. i see two major problems with this:
1) most airports doing it are hubs, meaning most people going through them are on connecting flights. if just one person in 10 goes outside to smoke, you are increasing the workload on TSA security checkpoints by thousands of people per day.
2)health risks to others.... that's right i'm a smoker who thinks others should not have to breath my smoke. i think there should be no smoking in bars resteraunts or hotels. the old way had sealled rooms with seperate ventilation, protecting non-smokers. now people go outside and people walking in and out of the airport are forced to be near them. by taking the war against smokers to this extreme in airports, the point of non-smoking bans has been lost, and the health risks to others has been increased.
any thoughts?
