Smoking booth

From The Guardian: "...the specially provided smoking booths, each furnished with a single chair, an ashtray and a water cooler, where one can smoke, alone, in full view of the passing fair. Smoking in one of these glass-walled tanks won't make you any healthier, but it is legal: the act of smoking here is deemed a performance, entitled The Straight Story by the artist known as Norma Jean. The smokers look like Francis Bacon characters, trapped in their foggy space frames. Outside the booths, ex-smokers can watch nostalgically, non-smokers can jeer and fetishists can get a little thrill from watching someone take a drag."

 

No, I didn't feel the need myself.
