re: Airports that still have corrals for nicotine addicts

I remember St. Louis had a smoking area around 2010, but the next time I was there, it had been removed. Are there any airports that allow smoking these days besides Reagan DC, Atlanta and Baton Rouge? Vegas and Memphis did it away with it, from what I remember.

I was shocked to see on in DC earlier this year. I figured all of the airports in the Northeast had gone smoke free years ago.

As long as the nearby areas are well ventilated and don't smell like smoke, I see nothing wrong with it because it just makes everything easier. Smokers don't need to go through security after stepping out. Flight attendants and airline employees don't have to deal with people acting up because they need nicotine. The main losers are people who have to sit next to heavy smokers for the first half hour of a flight. I've sat next to a few on Atlanta flights, and while I certainly don't like it, I'd rather sit next to a thin smoker than a 400 pound non-smoker.
