Not really connected to West Ender's question, so appologies...

but has anyone who is a smoker flown from Manchester, since the smoking ban was introduced?

There was a stinky old smoking lounge after check in, which will now be no more, but is there a balcony or outside space in the deparures lounge to smoke?

I can manage for a flight without a cigarette, but don't fancy the two hour plus wait in departures to be nicotine free as well.
