It is interesting that there is no place to smoke in airports. It would seem that there are several negative impacts that follow from this.
First, it must reduce productivity for the workers or promote illegal activity. Once they start smoking in forbidden areas, their behavior could move towards smuggling stuff on planes for terrorists, just like smoking a little pot leads to heroin.
Secondly, all those traveling smokers (40%?) are pissed off and irritable, not to mention the law abiding employees. This creates a potent stew of building anger that could be the reason for the weird blowups that occasionally happen in the check point areas.
In the Las Vegas airport, they have these little glass rooms with slot machines in them that used to be the smoking areas. Now they just make the slot machines a little less obnoxious.
It seems like you could have a place in airports located near the security checkpoint where people could smoke. It would provide relief to a large number of employees and travelers and give all those groups of 5 TSA workers who are sitting on the seats around the airport something to do.
