Tokyo International Airport (Haneda)
Tokyo International Airport, 14 kms south of Tokyo Central Station, is one of the two primary
airports serving the Greater Tokyo Area. It is commonly known as Haneda Airport. Although Haneda
was originally the primary airport for the Tokyo region, it now shares that role with Narita for a flight
abroad. Haneda mainly handles most domestic flights to and from Tokyo while Narita handles mostly
all international flights. The Japanese government plans to expand Haneda's role with more regional
flights and off-peak charter and oversea services. By passenger throughput, it is the busiest
airport in Asia and the fourth in the world.
Tokyo International Airport (Haneda)
New international terminal
The current international terminal opened in October, 2010. Both Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu
Airport Line was routed to stop at the new terminal.
The fourth runway, which is called D Runway, was constructed to the south of the existing
airfield, and was completed in 2010. This runway was designed to increase Haneda's operational
capacity from 285,000 movements to 407,000 movements per annum, permitting increased
frequencies on existing routes, as well as routes to new destinations. In particular, Haneda
would offer additional slots to handle 60,000 overseas flights a year, that is 30,000 during
the day and 30,000 during late-night and early-morning hours.

Haneda International Airport has 69 smoking booths or rooms: 18 at the Terminal 1, 35 at the Terminal 2,
and 16 at the International Terminal.
This would be the largest number among airports in the world.
So many Japanese smoker tourists put the light on the cigarette in a smoking booth at Haneda
before the departure of aircraft. This fact also leads to the third-hand smoke creating a problem
with the aircraft cabin passenger.

Smoking restriction of the world airports
TV commercial by Japan Tobacco Inc.( Broadcasted in November 2012 )
JT always opposes to the total smoking ban, and insists to provide a smoking-booth inside of a building.
The airport provides at least 24 smoking rooms, the second largest in the world.
東京国際空港は東京都大田区にある日本最大の空港で、通称は羽田空港。国際または国内航空輸送網の拠点となる空港である。
東京駅から14キロ南に位置し、大東京圏をカバーする。成田空港と国際便を分かち合っているが、羽田空港は 主に国内便、
成田空港は主に国際便と機能分化している。しかし、最近では深夜、早朝発着の規制が 大幅に緩和されたことから羽田空港
発着の国際便が増えている。利用者数から見ると、アジア最大であり、世界でも 4番目に多い。
東京国際空港には69 の喫煙ブースがあり、世界最多である。ターミナル1には18、ターミナル2には35, ターミナル３
（国際線）には16の喫煙ブースがある。しかも、搭乗寸前までタバコを吸うことが可能で、機内乗客に3次喫煙被害をもたらす
ことがある
通称、羽田空港は都心へのアクセスにも優れているので、その需要はますます高まっている。戦後、1958年まで米軍管理に
あったが、首都東京の空の玄関口として国内線、国際線ともに最大限の発着数を誇った。しかし、成田空港が完成すると
国際線は成田に移行した。現在、羽田空港は沖合に拡張を続け、第１ターミナル、第２ターミナルビルが完成している。
国際線ターミナルビルは主として韓国および国向けのチャーター便に利用されていたが、欧米への直行便発着が増大して来て
いる。羽田空港は成田空港とともに日本の空の玄関口としてその重要性はますます高くなる。
羽田空港第1ターミナルビル2階の車寄せには閉鎖式喫煙所はないが、他の喫煙所はすべて閉鎖式である点は、成田空港の対応
に比べ優れている。空港側は設計段階でバスを降りた乗客が航空機のチェックインカウンターに向かうことなく、すぐその場
でタバコを吸うことを考えていなかった模様だ。ニコチン中毒者はバスの中で過ごす２時間程度の禁煙にも苦痛を強いられる
のだろう。自らが麻薬中毒と同じ禁断症状を体験しながらも、タバコ会社との鎖を断ち切れない人のなんと多いことか！
喫煙者のための喫煙所は空港第１ターミナルビルに18ヵ所，第2ターミナルビに35ヵ所、国際線ターミナルに16ヵ所存在する。
閉鎖式施設であるにも拘わらず各出発ゲート周辺において分煙が完全でないとの苦情もある。幸い展望デッキは全面禁煙で
ある。日本ではJTの宣伝に、日本政府や神奈川県、兵庫県などがお墨付きを与えるなど、分煙制度を容認しているが、今の
屋内の喫煙規制に甘く、屋外の喫煙規制に厳しい体制は、タバコ副流煙の濃度を考えたとき、それは非常におかしなことで
ある。
