Smoking Lounge at IAH
 

Is there a smoking lounge at IAH?

No there isn't. I think a couple of the full-service bars/restaurants in the terminals may have smoking areas but I'm not totally sure on that. The only option I know of for sure is to go outside.

There is no smoking inside IAH anywhere.. and when you do go outside..make sure you are not within 25 feet of a door or they'll threaten a ticket.

And for god's sake,..Quit smoking!! It's a nasty,dirty and overall bad habit!!

Oops, I forgot, I am on the Continental board....seems like there are a lot of judgemental people on this board.

That,which I stated above,is true.....I know it....and deep down...you know it too.

Drop your stuff in the Presidents Club an head outside

The easiest re-entry is through terminal D since none of Continental's gate traffic moves through there. The exit and entrance are adjacent so you can judge the hassle factor before going outside.

I would never consider leaving A - since it has the slowest throughput at IAH -

It is a hike from any of the terminal C gates

One of my millionaire-maker ideas:
To lease space at IAH for a smoke shop. If one makes a tobacco purchase, then one may proceed to the smoking area. Without a purchase, one could access the area for $2.
I think it would be a HUGE hit for pipe, cigar, and cigarette smokers.
I'm a cigar man, and everytime I'm through IAH, I get angry that there is no area set aside for smokers.

YESSIR!!! (facetiously saluting now) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mad.gif

Hey, IMStill4Travel! If you really want to get a rise out of JS, why don't you pull a Dr. Dean and start talking about the Confederate flag bumper stickers http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif.

Don't hate me JS -- I'm just having some fun by stirring the sheet, being the wiseass New Yorker that I am. (I repeat, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif.)

And of course no one else out there has any bad habits. I've got at least three other habits that could be described as above. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif Unfortunately they won't let me do those things in the Club either. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

LOL. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Hey, come on over to OMNI, where these off-topic, vitrolic posts are allowed, no, make that welcome, no, make that, required! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Thanks for being a good sport (I think). http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I had less than an hour to connect from EWR to OGG....

The gate agent said smoking outside only, which he did not recommend on a Saturday with 1 hour to get through security.

BUT, the IAH-OGG flight was leaving from the Interntaional terminal/gates.

No people were in that area AT ALL. The only flights leaving were to OGG and to EWR.

The 2 sets of bathrooms in that entire area were deserted.

Good place for a smoke between flights. Got my nicotine fix & didn't get caught. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Yes, I broke the rules, but there has to be a way to accommodate smokers without making them pass through security again.
