Perth Airport has decided not to construct
‘smoking rooms’.
Instead, a dedicated, well ventilated outside
smokers’ shelter in the vicinity of Domestic Terminal 3, and well
away from the main doors of the terminal, is currently under
construction.
The facility will be a short walk from the
terminal and will feature Flight Information Displays as well as
soft drink vending machines and seating. The shelter is not located inside
the terminal, nor is it fully-enclosed as is sometimes seen at airports in
Asia.
The design of the facility meets the
requirements for enclosed public space calculations as per the
Tobacco Control Authority.
Perth Airport CEO, Brad Geatches said it was
important to address the issue of smoking on the forecourt of the
terminals so that passengers, visitors and airport workers did not
have to walk through a curtain of smoke to enter the terminals.
“This is a pragmatic approach to eliminate the
impact of passive smoking on all workers and visitors to the
airport. The facility we are building is not a room, but a
well-ventilated area away from the front of the terminal to
improve the airport experience,” Mr. Geatches said.
