twinsmom65 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well our tickets are booked and we are flying Emirates via Dubai. We have 2 long legs of flights, and as a smoker, does anyone know if there is a spot at Dubai Airport that I can have a fag break!!! I pray to go there is, otherwise I might completly lose the plot :biggrin: Cheers Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thankfully it is a non smoking airport, but there are rooms set aside. Dubai International Airport, Honeymoon in Dubai, Arabian Nights Wedding Theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 with cigarettes costing about $20 a packet in oz, it would be best if you psych yourself up to stop smoking sooner rather than later. I gave up smoking a month after i got here as i couldnt afford to carry on. The good news is that pill/chewing gum to help stop smoking are much cheaper here than in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkitek Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 There is also a nice wine bar, open pretty much the whole time, which as long as you buy a glass, you can smoke there. Gill xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi karen I flew with Emirates in June. There are smoking rooms which are situated down at one end of the terminal. Now Im a smoker, but believe me - after 2 minutes in one of those rooms - you wont need to smoke again as you will have inhaled enough smoke for a lifetime! The rooms are so bad that most just stand outside of them Best of luck for your journey home xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Having just returned from 5 weeks in Europe, one of the things I noticed (my perception only) is that a lot more people smoke in Europe than Australia. The also still allow smoking in restaurants, pubs etc. I was a bit shocked in Spain that the guy behind the counter in one pub where the serving tapas stood back and lit up not far from the food. I think europe has a way to go to catch up in the anti-smoking area in public places. This wasn't in UK, but I visited France, Spain, Italy and every second person seems to smoke. Particularly young girls, 17,18,19 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am moving back to an even more anti smoking country - Canada:) and will have to freeze outside in winter in temps of -10 just to enjoy one ciggie lol.... I have vowed to try and quit by next summer, something I have been wanting to do again (had quit for 6 years), but with all the stress now is not a good time lol Cheers Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will save a fortune and your health will be much better for it. Why don't you plan to have your last ciggie in Australia and start off clean when you get to Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
