May 24, 2012-Imperial Tobacco has opened a new area for smokers travelling from Birmingham Airport in the UK. The airside smoking balcony is the second such area to be created through Imperial's Smoking Allowed initiative – the first being a shelter at Bristol Airport last year. The Smoking Allowed initiative aims to provide UK smokers with first rate outdoor smoking facilities. "More than nine million passengers fly from Birmingham each year and I've been working closely with the airport over the last 18 months on their terminal extension plans, said Iain Watkins, UK communications manager. "Early feedback has been fantastic from both airport passengers and staff and our Smoking Allowed initiative should now really kick on and gather pace."Enditem
