And I certainly hope that if it does go ahead I hope that it isn't given a "cute" name to make it sound glamorous, as per a couple of suggestions that were made in the thread where the forum was mooted (I think that something like The Smokers' Lounge may have been one such, which I would find totally inappropriate).
Who are you to impose your moral judgments about smoking on other members of the forum?

Definitely not a smoker, but very much support the creation of the forum. I believe that a forum would help in their travels, and help to keep the smoke out of the places I go to.
It seems that some TB members have no interest in getting input from the membership, but just go all Herman Cain on us. Pretty sad, actually.

Support - and am interested to note how many people have been attracted to this discussion, seems to be far more than normally respond to these announcements.

Wikis can be added to the top of any thread by any FT member with enough days/posts here to have wiki editing privileges.

I don't smoke and I support it, providing...
This is not a bad idea at all! As long as this section do NOT promote smoking or other use of substances I do not see a point to be against it. This section can also be use to ask smokers to behave themselves and bring minimum affects on non-smokers.
Anyway I don't think smoking is anything good.

I'm genuinely curious: what metric or indicator would demonstrate to you demand for a forum? Similarly, what metric or indicator would demonstrate to you the need to close a forum? Can you offer a benchmark?

In favor. I also suggest a wiki page for easy reference, organized by country and city. Also an airport duty-free section (where I buy my cigarettes) with info about prices and deals.
