BURBANK : Airport Bans Smoking in Most Terminal Areas
Responding to complaints by passengers and airline representatives, the Burbank Airport Authority voted unanimously Monday to ban smoking in all terminal areas except restaurants and lounges.
The ban, which will take effect Nov. 1, brings the airport in line with a growing number of facilities across the country that have prohibited smoking, including John Wayne Airport in Orange County and airports in San Jose, San Francisco and Denver. Los Angeles International Airport allows smoking in designated areas throughout the terminals.
The Burbank airport now allows smoking in designated areas. But in some areas, smoking and nonsmoking areas are not separated and are distinguishable only by ashtrays and “No Smoking” signs.
