New Smoking Area Special for Smokers

As more and more countries start to ban smoking in public places, those who like cigarettes smoking find it harder and harder to revel a smoke apart from their own homes. That’s why scientists proposed to build an open smoking booth, special for smokers.
In this smoking booth the cigarette smoke will contain target airport which will filter smoke air and release fresh air instead. The smoking booth will be alike a cylindrical glass ash bin with a metal top located in the middle for to keep things clear and clean.
But all cigarette smoke will be filtered by the arm top where low-pressure air is generated, and the air wall will help keeping smoke within. The clean fresh air then will be sent out to the center of the booth from the lower part of the arm.
Not for the first time smokers, alike furious animals, are restrained to enclosed areas, away from the rest of non-smokers. But now for the first time smokers would not feel that they are discriminated, because smoking booth has "walls" created by colliding high and low air pressure in a spherical shape, keeping any harmful smoke within its borders.
But this new enclosed area for smokers is designed more for airports terminals and other high-traffic areas.
Fresh air is continually cycled through the interior of the smoking booth unit so the smokers don’t hotbox the thing. It was designed by D.K. Wei, and doesn’t seem to be in the running for production, but it is definitely a cool-looking, functional way to reduce secondhand smoke as well as making smokers feel less like herded cattle.
Considering the fact that cigarette smoke is as harmful to the non-smokers as it is for the smokers, the smoking booth comes as a healthy advancement that will help in ameliorating the environment in public places, and that too without disquieting the smokers. Scientists hope that this new project will give smokers more liberty to enjoy their habit.
"I think at this point people know fully well what they are getting into when they start smoking. We don't need to scold them for it. This is probably a step in the right direction as long as it still keeps the secondhand smoke away from everyone else inside the building", a smoker said.
