Designing for wellbeing

Smoking Area
The goal of achieving a smoke-free Finland by 2040 is a
project that requires a gradual change of attitude from
both smokers and non-smokers. Although smoking
is banned indoors, most outdoor spaces are not yet
smoke free. This project proposes a gradual reduction
in smoking areas as a transition stage between banned
indoor smoking to a smoke-free Finland. The approach
to achieving this transition state is to make comfortable
smoking areas outdoors. By using these, smokers
would leave the rest of a park, for example, smoke-free.
