Smoking in the Bathroom?
In the airport in Copenhagen (which, by the way, is a place that just oozes design; from the stained colored hardwood floors, to the fashionable end tables in the gate waiting area to the curved wood (wood!) barriers between security and the gates, someone spent a long time thinking about how this place is put together), there are actual ash trays next to each sink, urinal and toilet. And not just ashtrays, but clearly WELL USED ash trays. I had to laugh at this.
Yes, I know that people who smoke, nearly all of whom started when they were younger than 18, have been sneaking into the bathroom to smoke since the discovery of tobacco. But there's something particularly weird about this... there's a smoking lounge right around the corner. As a result, you look at the facts on the ground here and must, ultimately, come to the conclusion that in the process of peeing, the urge to light one up must have overtaken them. Someone who smokes is going to have to explain that connection.
