Official Airport Policy

Passenger terminals are smokefree, but smoking is permitted in the American Airlines Admiral Club and United Airlines Red Carpet Lounge.

Notes

Please take a moment to send a letter to Commissioner Walker thanking him for making most of the airport smokefree, and asking him to help remove the remaining smoking areas for the health of airport workers. Now it is time to completely clear the air at O'Hare.

Also, send letters to Chairman Tilton of United, the United Red Carpet Club Service Center, Chairman Arpey of American Airlines and the American Airlines Admiral Club, alerting them that allowing smoking in their airline clubs has serious negative consequences for the health of airline club patrons and employees. Just as all U.S. airlines made their airplanes smokefree to protect the health of flight crews, so should they also make their airline clubs smokefree to protect the health of service staff who must work in these areas.

Here we see a stand at Chicago O'Hare. You'll notice no advertising of any product, including tobacco product. My guess is that complies with the airport's policy for concessions. You'll also note no display of tobacco product. It's behind the cash register.

Here we see a clever way to get around that policy and advertise tobacco product: Why does anyone need 3 different pieces of signage pretending to object to minors buying tobacco? One guess: this is a tobacco ad, disguised as signage that pretends to care about minors buying tobacco. Its real function is to make damn sure those addicted to the product know there's a dealer here.
