Add an air shower (like going INto clean rooms), to suck the smoke out of your clothes when you come out, and you might be onto something there.
After 22 years of a pack-a-day habit, I swore I’d try never to be rabidly anti-smoker like others I’ve seen, but as soon as it was not attractive anymore to smell a cigarette (took about five years to clean out my lungs) it became harder to overlook it.
Sorry Bruce,
They didn’t do a very good job. I know several people with asthma that could enlighten you on that subject. I grew up in a smoking household. I smoked for a number of years. After quitting, I had no trouble telling a smoking vs non- smoking place by smell.
churchill, do you smoke? Because your comment on ventilation systems is not borne out by my experience, including in five-star hotels, of which I have been in many in Europe. Cigarette smoke soaks into carpets, wallpaper, and cloth, so will, with time, saturate any room. People also seem to vary in their ability to “shed” smoke – I have smelt residual cigarette smoke from ten feet away from someone before. Or more, if downwind.
The point you have overlooked is that tobacco smoke is dangerous to people other than the smoker. If it only affected the smoker, I would be all for a Darwinian approach.
And do you support a Darwinian approach for car licenses? Poor driving is also a public problem…

“Smokin in the Boys Room”…
The restroom is the best place, at least all the smoke would be sucked out…

motive, I was going to post something similar about ventilation. I haven’t seen any smoking area that resembled a sealed lab. :)
