airplane flights within the United State), in shops, in movies theaters, schools, and office buildings. The general rule is if you

are indoors, then you probably are not allowed to smoke. The exceptions are bars, nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a
restaurant does allow smoking, it will only be in an area that is designated for smokers. If you are with someone, even
outdoors, it is courteous to ask if they mind before you start smoking.
