    A health advocate called for a total ban on smoking at major airports nationwide Tuesday after many areas of passenger terminals were found to have "second-hand" smoke levels two times higher than World Health Organisation (WHO) standards over 24 hours.

    Mahidol University public health researcher Assoc Prof Dr Niphan Kungskulniti said her team found that smoking rooms, areas near to doors of smoking rooms, and non-smoking areas at four airports - Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai and Phuket - had high second-hand smoke levels with small particles under 2.5 micrograms exceeding WHO airquality standards.

    The study, revealed Tuesday, found a level of second-hand smoke in the smoking room, areas near the door of smoking rooms, and non-smoking areas at the international airports were 773.4, 54.6, and 14.3 mcg per cubic metre, respectively.
