There was some confusion about smoking at the Honolulu Airport; it's now clear that you cannot smoke anywhere from cabin to curb, and the smoking designated places have been pushed out to the road fronting the terminal.
As a non-smoker myself and someone very bothered by smoke, this is great news. However, according to the video linked below, others are not so pleased:

Taking away freedom... individual liberties?
Landing on the 17th I never saw anyone smoking or trying to smoke in the airport. Most were even going across the street in the bottom arrival area. In Waikiki most tourists I see are trying to abide by it and haven't heard nor seen any person or official say anything to folks who are smoking near entrances and such. Appears that the locals who are working at places are having the most difficult time with this new law. This could only be my perception, but there appears to be a whole lot less cig / ash containers in the Kuhio part.
