I quit smoking 48 days ago. Cold turkey One thing(among many) that pushed me over the edge was sitting in one of the "smokeatoriums" at ATL. Could they make you feel like more of a social outcast??? And the people that walk by saying to their children as they pass, "See those people in there. They're SMOKERS!!! Hurry, let's get away from them!"

But seriously, while my first recommendation would certainly be to do whatever you have to do to quit, I think letters of complaint to airport managers and airlines would be in order. Not only do you pay ridiculous taxes on cigarettes but you also pay facility fees every time you fly through an airport. As you can tell, even though I no longer smoke, I sympathize with the smokers. I don't think they should have to sit in a glassed-in room with FlyerTalk Bulletin Board colored walls.

I know i've been rambling. Give me a break. I'm REEEEAAAAL edgy
