They've driven the smokers out into the cold,

In Seattle, for example, you are not allowed to smoke within 25' of a
building. I think that's ridiculous.

25' of a door or a window that opens. Stupid.


I'm a smoker and I have no problem with that. Nobody likes to be hit in the
chops with a cloud of smoke coming out of a building.
For a year I had quit smoking and I learned a lot of respect for the comfort
of the non-smokers around me. After hosting a card game the stench would
linger in my house for days. So even if I am given permission to have a
smoke in a non-smokers home I will step outside if I need it that bad.
I do strongly belive that all airports should have an indoor smoking lounge
within the security area. During delayed/cancelled flight periods, stuck
passengers would easier to deal with not to mention relive the added burden
of multiple trips thru screening making those lines that much longer.
