Case 1. In a special smoking room with proper air filtration and extraction I see no problem with this - and with proper air filtration and extraction if you have a designated slot where it is "out of use", half of which allows any remaining smoke in the air to get processed, the other half of which allows any cleaners in to the place... well, it's not even a H&S issue as there is no smoke exposure to cleaning staff Case 2. Our local cinema until very recently allowed smoking upstairs only (on the grounds that this didn't affect the people downstairs)... until some local busybody anti-smoker who doesn't even use the cinema found out about it and decided to get the local council to prohibit it in there - people came from miles and miles around purely because it was a cinema that they _could_ smoke in - they are now on the verge of shutting (small one screen place run by the villagers for the villagers) due to the drop in turnover from the "out of village" trade meaning they now can't afford the upkeep Case 3. see case 1 - if it is done in a way that allows non-smokers to travel without being affected and so that staff can be sure of clean air when they need to enter between flights, then I see no problem with a small area being sealed from the main passenger deck as an inflight smoking room - I also see no problem with charging smokers for this facility (as there would be a cost associated with it)
All these "black and white" cases could actually be turned grey with a little bit of thought...
