Although, I am amazed that they finally shut it down in Charlotte, it will be nice to be able to see my chicken sandwich next time.

Smokers pay dearly for the right to use tobacco. If tobacco is so evil and unhealthy, then our government should simply make it illegal. They won't though, because if they did, all you self rightious tobacco Nazis would have to pay a lot more taxes to make up the difference, and that would be politically unpopular. Do we live in the "Land of the Free"? Or do we live in the home of the squeaky wheel? I know that tobacco is unhealthy. So is alcohol, fatty foods, unprotected sex, and breathing the air that is poluted by cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, factoies, etc. This is the world we live in.

Such fun to watch them in their natural habitat. The Miami airport has one of those smoker’s “terrariums” too. Such fun to watch them in their natural habitat.

At RDU, one of the terminals has a glass-enclosed Shame room where people can smoke. I've seen those in Atlanta also. But, as I sat in the non-smoking Logan Airport for 5 hours the other day it hit me that when the weather's bad, the smokers must really suffer. Is it wrong to say I giggled to myself about that?
