I just flew out of the airport . I fancied a cigarette before checking in . To my surprise the normal smoking areas have been closed and an enclosed smoking room installed at the beginning of the departures , area A and I was told that it is the only facility for smokers . It is awful inside and I had 2 puffs and left the stench room. Not fully vented and police standing outside to catch any person smoking outside of the room and they caught one guy who was surrounded by police , pathetic . So smokers be warned and have your last smoke before going to the airport .

There is another one at the other end of departures, same thing but a bit less busy. Crazy to have an enclosed space outside of the building, the old open air areas away from the entrances should have been fine, but our own fault for being smokers I guess.
