Euro-phile: Nicotine destinations

Smoking inside public venues has been banned practically everywhere in Europe. From London's taverns to Dublin's pubs and Rome's espresso bars, smokers are being marched outside like stray cats or boorish drunks. When Paris fell, smoking's aura of chic officially suffered its biggest blow to date. But for those die-hards who miss the aroma of premature ageing and cancer of the larynx, there are a few places left in Europe where you can still rest puff in peace. London's Guardian newspaper has predicted a new form of travel, "smoking tourism", to those destinations where smoking bans have yet to be passed. 
One of them is Belgium, where the Tabaco club in Hasselt holds regular gatherings for female cigar smokers. Estonia is starting to market new "smokers' getaways", focused around the cigar lounges of Tallinn, like Dunkri 2 which is exclusively supplied by the nation's only Cuban cigar distributor.
And stay tuned for "Smokers International Airways" (Smintair), a smoke-friendly airline planned by German entrepreneur Alexander W Schoppmann. Our advice? Bring plenty of Febreze.
