Priority Pass lounges and smoking areas

Hi guys

For various reasons, I have the following murderous itinerary this winter:

Nov: LHR-AUH-MEL-PER-AUH-DUB-MAN

Dec: BHX-ZRH-MUC-BHX

Feb/Mar: LHR-LYS-MAD-LHR-KUL // SIN-LHR-MAD-LHR-GRU-MVD-MAD-LHR

Those are the ones I know about so far. There may be more.

I have no status with any airline (yet!), so I am seriously considering buying a Priority Pass card, for some peace and quiet, internet access, food - and yes, booze - in the various airports. Normally this would be a no-brainer with no status and this itinerary.

However, I am seriously put off by the fact that the vast majority of the lounges are non-smoking. The only ones I know to have smoking facilities nearby are ZRH and SIN. I know LHR is a nightmare. The last thing I want is to go airside 3 hours early (or stay airside on a layover) and not to be able to smoke. I am a 30-a-day man, and flights of this length are bad enough without adding extra hours to the nicotine starved misery.

Does anyone have any experience of lounges in these airports and the ease of finding somewhere closeby for a puff or 10?

Thanks in advance.
