Is There a Place to Smoke in Houston Airport? A Burning Question
So, you're headed to Houston, huh? And you're a smoker. Let's talk about the burning issue: where to light up without causing a commotion.
The Short Answer: Outside Only, Please!
Houston Airport, like many other airports, has embraced the smoke-free lifestyle. That means no puffing away inside the terminals. You'll have to step outside for your nicotine fix.
Where to Find Your Happy Place
Don't worry, they haven't completely banished smokers to the wilderness. There are designated smoking areas outside each terminal, usually a safe distance away from the doors. Think of it as a little fresh air break before your flight. Just remember, those areas can get crowded, especially during peak travel times. So, be prepared to share your space (and maybe your lighter) with fellow smokers.
Tips for the Smoking Traveler
- Pack your patience: Waiting for your turn to smoke can be a test of endurance. Bring a good book, download some podcasts, or just people-watch.
- Layer up: Houston weather can be unpredictable. You might be basking in the sunshine one moment and shivering in the AC the next. Dress in layers to stay comfortable.
- Mind your manners: We know, it's tempting to blow smoke in the face of the non-smokers rushing past, but please resist. It's all about respect, people.
- Don't be a butt: Dispose of your cigarette butts properly. There are usually designated receptacles for this purpose. Littering is a no-no, even for smokers.
How to...
- How to find a smoking area? Look for signs that say "Designated Smoking Area." If you're lost, ask an airport employee.
- How to survive a long layover as a smoker? Time your smokes strategically. Plan your smoking breaks around meal times or when you need a stretch.
- How to avoid smoker's breath? Pack gum, mints, or mouthwash. Fresh breath is always appreciated, especially on a crowded flight.
- How to quit smoking? There are many resources available to help you quit smoking. Check with your doctor for advice and support.
- How to enjoy your flight smoke-free? Embrace the opportunity to detox and enjoy a cleaner, healthier flight.
