OMG! Do they still have those in some airports 🤢

 

I remember going into one of those somewhere many years ago when I was still a smoker and even then, they were unbearable!!

NOPE!  Remember the smoking lounges in St. Louis years ago. My birthplace and would fly back a couple times to see Mom. They have been gone for at least 10 years but I recall a fellow out of the terminal  saying they still had them in Atlanta, Would doubt they still are.

I just remember how gross they were and how I was always embarrassed to go into one because it was all glassed in with a huge suction thing trying to suck all the smoke out of the cubicle. Good God!!! What were we thinking? Power of addiction I suppose and that always got a work out when flying. The fear of not being able to light up for hours 😵‍💫

 

Freedom tastes a whole lot better than a smoke ever did  

How about the time they had smoking on planes, way back in the day!  I am dating myself for sure...LOL!!  It was so stupid though because right in front of the first row of smoking was the last seat in non smoking and it made no sense. Although I think some of the planes had a whole section but there was no ventilation and the smoke made it's way into the cabins in front.  Yeah trying to find a place to smoke was always on my mind.  If I couldn't smoke for hours, I would be climbing the walls.  I am so thankful that I don't have to worry about that anymore! 😀

Funny story; about 6 years ago the wife & I flew from L.A. to Tahiti via: Air Tahiti Nui. Once we were on the plane I said to the wife; "Hey look! There's still ashtrays on the arm rests on this plane. Wonder how old it is 🤔 

I think the smoking lounges are gone now. But I recall them so vividly. 

 

And I’m right there with you, QG… I totally used to book a seat in the smoking section on long cross-country flights, and I always chose the smoking cars on Amtrak, too. I hated all that smoke and ash in close quarters, but I did it anyway. Addiction is such a bonkers thing. 

@Reciprocity  Ohh yeah that plane was very old!! 😲  I think they did away with smoking on planes back in the late 80, maybe early 90s.  I know they banned smoking in offices here in the States back around 87/88.

 

@DenaliBlues  I know it smelled so bad but we did it anyway.  One job that I had there was a smoking room and it smelled so bad in there that it was so nauseating.  After that we had to go outside to smoke which actually was better than that room.  But, I'm totally glad I don't need to find a place now.

JUST NOPE!!
