Airport employees told to take it outside...
Airport employees now have to smoke like everyone else — outside.
The Halifax airport has closed its smoking room lounge to everyone but international in-transit passengers.
The smoking room was meant for passengers on international flights to use during stopovers but was also being used by employees looking for a warm place to light up.
Peter Spurway, spokesman for the Halifax International Airport Authority, said that a glass divider is being used to make sure only in-transit passengers have access to the room.
The lounge is also looking for a liquor licence, and Mr. Spurway said that is still being discussed with the provincial government.

All animal cruelty charges against an Eastern Passage couple in the deaths of two family pets have been withdrawn.
Alicia Dawn Bruneau and Jamie George Urquhart, both 27, were charged with one count each of killing a dog and a ferret between Dec. 20, 2005 and April 11, 2006.
Crown attorney Art Theuerkauf said outside Dartmouth provincial court this week that it would be difficult to prove the accused actually killed the animals, which he described as emaciated. So the Crown laid new charges of causing or permitting unnecessary pain to be caused to each of the animals, but those charges were withdrawn because time had run out under the six-month limit for prosecuting summary offences.
Ms. Bruneau and Mr. Urquhart return to court March 14 to have a date set for trial on charges of theft under $5,000.
