Smoke Free Travel
Well,
good news is good news. More and more places have become totally
non-smoking and it is easier to breath for all of us. From
airports to restaurants, office buildings to buses, change is all
around us and for the good.
Smokefreetravel.com
site offers free to use information on traveling without having to
encounter the chemicals of smoke. Smoke free travel covers topics such
as smoke free accommodations, smoke free airports, smoke free homes,
smoke free rental cars, and smoke free restaurants.
Smoke free hotels are available nearly everywhere, and are
becoming the choice for many travelers. If you cannot find a hotel that
is completely smoke free, you can request to stay in a smoke free room.
Approximately 60 percent of airports are smoke free. All domestic
flights are smoke free. If an airport is not smoke free it will
typically offer a ventilated room or smoking area for smokers.
Most overseas airline flights are now smoke free and you really have to
search hard to find any flights, anywhere that offer smoking.
There are
several websites devoted to giving information on smoke free airports.
I have only found two airport that have smoking lounges and they were
the LAS & OKC airports. There may be more, but, I have not seen
them. I remember several overseas lounges that allow smoking, but,
all in all, smoking has been eliminated in the airline and airport
sectors.
The
chemicals in second hand smoke are dangerous to individuals who spend their time indoors.
Smoke free homes can reduce the risk of cancer as well as other
conditions. Test and studies have proven that people have
died or became very ill from second hand smoke and the smoking in
confined spaces was some of the worst culprits. Smoking in cars is
one of the deadliest.
Children exposed to second hand smoke often develop
respiratory problems as well as asthma. I hope most parents are
not smoking in vehicles when they drive their children around town.
This is a very bad condition for the kids since the second hand smoke
will affect their health.
It is important when renting a car to request a 100 percent smoke free
car to ensure that there is no exposure to second hand smoke. There are
a few rental car companies that advertise smoke free car rentals.
Providing a smoke free environment in restaurants, bars, and lounges
give non-smokers the ability to frequent many places that they were
unable to. Most states now have smoke free bars, lounges,
restaurant laws and these seem to be helping quite a bit with the
reduction of second hand smoke and illness. In fact several major
smoking countries overseas have also instigated these types of laws,
including Ireland and France. These countries were heavy smokers
in pubs, restaurants and any other bar or lounge atmosphere.
Today, the air is clean and you can find a smoke free table everywhere
you go in Ireland and France.
Individuals can locate smoke free restaurants on the internet
as well as by identifying the smoke free stickers used on the entrance
of most establishments. Every day we get more and more smoke free
in the way we think and act. This is good for us all.
