Designated Smoking Areas (DSAs) are specific locations where smoking is permitted, often established to protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke. These areas are typically marked with signs and may be located away from entrances, windows, and high-traffic zones to minimize exposure to smoke. DSAs are commonly found in public spaces such as parks, airports, and office buildings. They help create a balance between the rights of smokers and the health concerns of non-smokers. Regulations regarding DSAs can vary by location, influenced by local laws and community standards regarding tobacco use.
