A novel way to get around the smoking ban

[wurzel]

I gave up a few years ago but I've just found out that the client co has a smoking room.
It's behind a door with a big sign on it saying Private Apartment and is actually registered as a separate piece of real estate to the rest of the building, i.e. it's not business premises or a place of work so you can do waht the hell you want in there.
Would be good if pubs could do this sort of thing, assuming they've got the room to do it of course.

Have you checked that its not already a brothel?

They did this in a lot of pubs in Germany when the ban came in, they were bloody awful, you came out stinking like an ashtray. Now that the ban has, kind of, been rescinded then you can continue as pre-ban times. A couple of sites I've been to recently have little cubicles built for smoking in corridors or in the case of one, right by reception where the cafe is so you can have a fag and coffee. Civilised...

A former client of mine in Germany had these as well. They are open sided cubicles with air extractors that suck all the smoke. I was impressed at how effective they were. Shame we couldn't have something similar back over here.

That would allow far too much recognition of personal freedom

On Air France, they have (or at least had last time I went long haul with them) "Le Coin Fumeur" at the back of the plane where
you can stand and have a fag. You are in a little curtained off area & there's an extractor so the rest of the passengers don't get bothered by your smoke. Last time, when I came back from Brazil on AF, they were pouring out glasses of wine for you to enjoy with your smoke. Very civilised.

If you look closely you'll see they're made by a British company.

Not that I spend much time in them you understand.

You wait until they ban smoking in the home.

Apart from that being a tad impractical they make so much tobacco revenue that I doubt that will happen.

Have you checked that its not already a microwave?
