10 Sneaky Airline Fees
Be aware of the airports you fly too and from as construction may add fees to your ticket price.
If Chicago approves O’Hare International Airport’s new runway, its travelers can expect an additional $4.50 charge per airline ticket to fund construction. These so-called passenger facility charges aren’t uncommon, though the Federal Aviation Administration regulates them carefully, says Perkins, of SmarterTravel.com.

Famous Smoker Deaths
I figured it only appropriate to include a list of people who died before the age of 60 due to smoking as we’ve got the list of famous smoking celebs (no nip-slips, sorry).
Some notables include Peter Jennings, Nat “King” Cole, Carl Wilson, Roger Maris,Roy Orbison, Babe Ruth, Micheal Landon, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gabel, and of couse George Harrison.
No, Tupac smoked, but “got smoked” though makes me wonder who might go next. Taking votes everyone on, from the list of current smokers, Britney, Lindsey, Zidane, Joaqin, etc. who’s gonna kick it before 60? My bet is Johnny Depp.

Hookah Bars In England Set To Disappear
The smoking ban set to go in effect on July 1 includes the smoking of shisha.
There are now an estimated 600 cafes, lounges and nightclubs across the UK and even dedicated British music acts and DJ collectives with names such as Shisha Sound System. Between 30,000 and 40,000 people come to Edgware Road to smoke shisha every week.
A “smoking license” would help consumers determine where they want to spend their money. Establishments could apply to be smoking-only and take their chances at a drop in business. Doubt that would happen if your business is selling shisha.
