Smoke Free Airports
Smoke free airports are ideal for individuals with asthma or other
respiratory conditions. However, studies show that only about 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.
There are several websites devoted to giving information on smoke free
airports. Smaller airports have gone completely smoke free while larger
airports have created smoking facilities. The smoking facilities are
often ventilated to ensure that smoke does not creep out of the room.
Many companies are offering smoking cessation products such as
lollipops, water, and gum spiked with nicotine for smokers. This may
help in reducing the number of smokers looking for a smoking facility
within airports. In addition, airports are less likely to offer smoking
facilities if there are other options available to smokers.
Choosing airports that are smoke free can be difficult to do. There are
times when there are no other airports to fly into or out of. There are
several airports that plan to make their facilities smoke free or
completely smoke free.
Often, you can contact the airport to find out if it is a smoke free
facility. Many airports have websites that offer information about their
facilities. Most bars and lounges in airports are not smoke free.
Individuals should be prepared to encounter smokers outside of airports.
Traveling smoke free can be difficult. Researching airports online may
help in finding smoke free facilities.
