yep, it is to punish us.

Go in a bathroom. Go to a stall. Light up. Take a few puffs. Flush it. Go to next bathroom. Repeat. Just don't do it for more than a few drags.

I wouldn't, in Australia. Those airport security guys are frustrated wannabe cops and just dying for the chance to be officious - and the sensors are stupidly sensitive in Oz.

Blow the smoke into a wet handkerchief or cover the sensors with a plastic cup (use super glue - never forget super glue if you go to an airport ) - that helps, but of course .....situation is just crazy.

Thx for the tip, but I'm pretty sure that superglue is one of the many banned substances - also slightly inflammable !

Maybe smoke with your head actually in the toilet bowl,(while flushing- LOL), but frankly, even a really evil smoking room would be better.

Fuck, banned ??? Even my underwear is slightly inflammable ! Nevertheless ...long live anarchy. The world gives me the impression that we need it.

As a substitute one could use THIS:


Absolutely legal

.

Yeah, that's probably why they've also banned farting in the airport

gluestick...legal FOR NOW.
SKOAL, works for me.

Ahhh, one of my pet topics. In Canada, you can smoke outside. But once in the pre-flight security zones, not a chance. Canada, land of punishers. No one is allowed to have fun, even with a legal substance.

I recently transited through London Heathrow for the first time in decades, literally. The new terminal does not have a smoking room whereas I'm told the older terminals do. I was unhappy because I'd just finished a 12-hour jump and was waiting for another 7-hour flight. No smokies.

I know now that my test of transiting through UK/Europe will be my one and only use of Euro airports in decades. It's back to transiting through Asian ones for me. Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Taipei, Phnom Penh and Bangkok ALL have smoking rooms. Tokyo's Narita is like a gentlemen's club. Incheon's (Seoul) are nice too. Taipei's, my first time recently, are like little outrigger rooms with normal outside air vents, windows and screens but no air con. Still, better than HK's sealed and weakly vented rooms. But I'm not complaining! LOL

Sydney doesn't have one but you can go outside. Aussie Visa is $40, it's electronic and good for 1 year. Just get it and walk out and chill before your next flight.
