No Smoking. These signs are everywhere. I dont know of an office building that allows smoking inside. Perhaps the offices of Altria allow smoking and even then Im not sure. Also, the outdoor areas where smoking is allowed are shrinking. No more stepping just outside the door to grab a quick smoke, these areas increasingly have the no smoking signs posted. Airports have only small designated areas and restaurants that used to have a smoking section are becoming completely smoke free environments. Im wondering how many missed flights have happened due to the need for a quick smoke that turned into the hunt for a smoking area in an airport maze, because everyone knows there will be no smoking during the flight. More and more restaurants which used to at least have an smoking section are no completely smoke free. There is a solution for those who still enjoy the action, taste and nicotine of a cigarette. Metro E-Cigs look and taste like a tobacco cigarette, but because of the lack of tobacco in the e-cig, they are not subject to the no smoking bans. Not everyone who currently enjoys smoking can work for Altria, but they can switch today to electronic cigarettes, which are allowed most anywhere.
