I'd be baffled by Ishikawa's statement as well (and I was when I read that statement), since the governor's office has made clear that the airport would be smoke-free from curb to cabin, and the legislation that has been passed supports this language. So, the previously designated smoking areas (open-air walkways between "terminals" at HNL) could not still be "designated" since it would constitute a covered walk-way and thus be a smoke-free area under the bill. Perhaps Ishikawa was referring to the garden areas of the airport?
