Miami International Airport
Flight time to Miami from Chicago is about three hours. As aircraft approaches to the Miami International Airport,
we saw the board Atlantic Ocean spread over the rich granary field.
In arriving in Miami airport, we felt the impression mixed with warmness and vulgarity, just visiting a country side.
We could find any no-smoking signs in the airport buildings. This is a rather common phenomenon in the international
airport facilities in the United States. The fact is well accepted from oversea travellers and domestic residents.
However, to make sure it, there was a frequent announcement that 'All terminals are smokefree. Smoking is allowed
in designated places only'. All designated smoking places are located outside of the airport building, except a smoking
area in the courtyard. It is unique that the warning sign board for lung cancer using an X-ray film was on the wall of
the airport terminal building.
The Miami International Airport is rather boorish, but somewhat heart-warming. (R) A total smoking ban applied in all eating places.
(L) No smoking sign at the entrance to the air terminal buildings. There is no such warning sign inside of the terminal..
(R) The sign board shows the direction to the designated smoking.
(L) A smoking area is provided far from the entrance to the airport. Only one passenger was smoking.
(R) No smoking in the porch of the terminal. No smoking sign plate on the pillar of loading and unloading zone.

マイアミ国際空港到着 シカゴからマイアミまでへの飛行時間は約３時間である。豊かな穀倉地帯を下に見て
マイアミ近くに近づくと大きな大西洋が広がって来る。
マイアミに着いて見て、田舎の空港のような暖かみと、やぼったさとが同居するとの印象を受けた。空港内には禁煙標識は
一切ない。米国内の国際空港によくあることで、閉鎖空間内での喫煙禁止は、海外からの旅行者を含め、もう疑う余地のない
万人が受け入れている既成事実である。それでも空港では「All terminals are smoke-ree. Smoking is allowed in
designated places only」 と頻繁にアナウンスを繰り返していた。空港中庭（屋外）に１ヶ所の喫煙所を見つけたが、
他の指定された喫煙所は空港出入口より離れた屋外にある。通路の目立つ場所には肺のレントゲン写真を掲げ乗客の注意を
喚起していた。
