Twenty-five years ago virtually the ENTIRE world, EVERYWHERE. Antismokers were a powerless fringe group, generally disregarded and thought of as a bit crazy. Not too long before that, the famous Sci-Fi author, Isaac Asimov, wrote a little sci-fi mystery involving a miniature past-time viewer. In the course of the story or just before, someone is murdered or somesuch and the police are called in. At that point, and several points thereafter, we see the main character, something of a cleanliness-nut, OCD type scientist, as he demanded that the police and anyone else visiting him in his home or lab extinguish their cigarettes while around him. People kept forgetting since “nutcases” like that fictional scientist simply didn’t exist in real-life and his behavior was outstandingly unique.Eventually, that behavior was SO weird that it pinned down the fact that he himself was the criminal and had been suffering a mental disorder ever since he’d become obsessed with the thought that, years earlier when he’d been a smoker himself, he may have started a fire that killed his young son.THAT is how rare that sort of behavior and concern was — so no, there were pretty much no office buildings where smoking was banned.Sooo… with that as history, your question brings us to today… The World Health Organization is heavily dependent upon U.S. money, and the U.S. “liberal” medical establishment became ruled by Antismokers after the 1975 “World Conference On Smoking And Health” where it was proposed that the focus of the effort to do something about the health scourge of smoking move from developing medical help for smokers and educating smokers about the harmful effects of smoking to a new focus: societal change and the development of a system for treating smokers like lab rats, rats who would be rewarded or punished for their behaviors until they conformed.Smoking bans became an important part of this, as were tax increases and Reefer Madness type media presentations aimed at dehumanizing smokers so that further punishments and restrictions on them would be tolerated, accepted, and even welcomed by the larger nonsmoking population and even, to at least some extent, by smokers themselves: “Self-Hating Smokers” became the new norm.THAT led us toward today… where we have questions like this one along with answers that tend toward “Almost nowhere.” or “Almost none.”While some countries (e.g. scattered around Eastern Europe where populations developed an annoying attachment to freedom from dictatorial governments) still resist such universally imposed controls in practice even if the legal systems may dictate such bans, most countries have given in to near-universal indoor “workplace” bans which have expanded to include places of relaxation and recreation such as bars and perhaps even brothels.There may be more “outposts of freedom” that I’m unaware of, and I’m sure that around the world there exist many office buildings where there may be laws in place but where those laws are partly or even largely ignored, but they’re becoming rarer — although there still ARE some U.S. states that have resisted imposing such total workplace bans. Wikipedia provides a beacon of light in this regard, as they point out:“As of July 2018, 12 states have not enacted any general statewide ban on smoking in workplaces and/or bars and/or restaurants: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Instead, laws in most of these states (see individual state listings below for further information) require proprietors of certain places to designate smoking and non-smoking areas and post warning signage.” [1][1][1][1]ISIS was more successful in the populations it ruled over as they punished, stoned, tortured, or beheaded smokers, but for the moment they’ve been denied the power to really establish their control outside a few localities.We’ll have to see what the future holds.Hope this answer helped, although if you were a smoker asking this in hopes of good news I don’t think I helped a lot. If you want to fight bans like this the keys lie in the area of quiet resistance and education. See, e.g. the freely printable, big-print booklet “The Lies Behind The Smoking Bans” that you can leave around smoking areas or bring to bars fighting ban-battles:https://web.archive.org/web/20150412051216/http://kuneman.smokersclub.com/PASAN/StilettoGenv5h.pdfIt hits the bans at the weakest point in their foundation — their lies — by examining what are supposedly their strongest arguments: the scientific studies that Antismokers themselves have held forth as their “Best And Brightest” research supporting smoking bans. When people can see and understand how even their best arguments are “hollow men” then they will become more willing to fight for Free Choice as concerns individual businesses and housing and such making their own choices as to whether to allow smoking.Just as Smokers would never seek to pass laws requiring that ALL places of general classes like offices, bars, colleges, parks, beaches etc, allow smoking, so should Nonsmokers never seek to pass laws requiring that ALL such places ban smoking. Leave that sort of thing to groups like ISIS and their ilk, and you, the OP, will indeed be able to find office buildings freely where smokers are welcomed either throughout or at least in comfortable lounges where ventilation is separate and high-level and smokers and their nonsmoking friends can relax together.OK! Hope this helped, even if it’s perhaps a more discouraging answer than you were hoping for. America has largely had its freedoms removed in this area, but perhaps some folks from elsewhere in the world will chime in.MJM, a smoker, and an activist, and a “Teller of Truth” — one of the Antismokers’ greatest fears…Footnotes[1] List of smoking bans in the United States - Wikipedia[1] List of smoking bans in the United States - Wikipedia[1] List of smoking bans in the United States - Wikipedia[1] List of smoking bans in the United States - Wikipedia

Not sure about branding, but for education, have a look at the following sections from 'Adventures in 3D Printing.'Printing in Education“Plastics, my boy, plastics.”This 1960s piece of career advice, given to Dustin Hoffman's character in The Graduate, resonates with a new generation of makers and hackers nearly fifty years later. Talk of 3D printers is everywhere—in print, on the web, on television, and now set to arrive in the classrooms of schools, colleges, and universities. Schools Across the globe, schools are finding useful ways to incorporate 3D printing in their curricula. Sometimes it is passionate individual teachers that are introducing printers into the classroom, no small sacrifice on a teacher’s salary. One story that really impressed me was that of Wayne Caudle, director of technologies at Boaz schools in Alabama. During the replacement of their computer network, none of the mounts that came with the new switches would fit flush to the walls. Caudle was told by a local machine shop that custom made mounts would be between $5 and $8 a piece. For a total of 364 mounts, this would be in the region of $2,000. Instead, he spent the $2,000 on a Makerbot Replicator 2 and printed them out for less than a nickel a piece, ensuring that the machine paid for itself on its very first job. Leading the charge among manufacturers is Airwolf, who has already helped put 3D printers in many classrooms around the world, from middle and high schools in the United States to universities in the Middle East and trade schools in China.Figure 100. The Airwolf AW3D V5Airwolf clearly understands that what is lacking in schools these days are opportunities to apply maths and science to the practical fields of engineering and industrial design. 3D printing creates ways to reengage students with STEM programs (Science-Technology-Engineering-Maths). Even more importantly, it fires imaginations. During the last few decades, many schools gave up their metalworking and woodworking departments for more intellectual career paths. Lathes, mills, drilling machines, and even CNC equipment were let go and sold on, due to a lack of technical capacity in the teaching staff. Hopefully, the introduction of 3D printers can help to reverse this trend, especially as the manufacturing base of a country is unable to expand unless the leaders make a serious investment in education. This technology assists a wide variety of disciplines. Medical students can fabricate three-dimensional molecular models, architecture majors can create physical representations of their designs, and fine art students can 3D print real life examples of their designs. Just as art students create a portfolio of their work, I wonder how long it will be before we see engineering students assembling portfolios of 3D printed objects to show prospective employers or universities. Will high school students begin including a custom 3D printed object with their applications to engineering colleges to demonstrate their CAD accomplishments and abilities? These days, few students have the opportunity to take apart automobile engines and it is unlikely that they can take apart an iPod like they could a radio. Designing and printing engine parts in the shop, on the other hand, shows students what the actual inside of an engine looks like. It is very empowering for a young person to actually build something, and it is even more remarkable how prolific they become once they gain the ability to turn their 3D designs into real physical objects. We have already seen, in both the US and the UK, what happens when we create an excess of MBAs and so called finance whizzes, and then let them loose on the real estate markets. It is very easy to see the new doors that are being opened in the young minds that are exposed to 3D printing. I read about one class that printed a miniature working catapult to study the physics of velocity. Students in this particular program even showed increased vocabulary. This kind of study also offers the chance to improve spatial intelligence, something that is often overlooked in public education. A 3D printed object held in the hands of the student-designer can bridge the important gap between simple visual perception and three-dimensional spatial visualization. This ability is key to bolstering the current scientific and technical workforce. This technology can be utilized to bring a great deal of ingenuity into any classroom. Just imagine, for example, a youngster developing an Arduino platform and a case to go around it using a 3D printer, thereby creating a hand-held device to analyze bacteria in the air. Science projects of the future are going to become a whole lot more interesting, thanks to 3D printing. One of the most important things that youngsters need to learn is about the limitations of their tools. I have talked extensively about this in the previous chapter, explaining that we can design anything you want on the computer, but we do not always have the machines to create it. Another key lesson is that of nomenclature, all the names of those fiddly engineering parts. Knowing what an item looks like is one thing, but figuring out what to call it, so that it can be ordered from a catalog, can be a real challenge. A recent announcement by the UK Minister of Education stated that all secondary schools (ages eleven and up) will be required to have a 3D printer and introduce children to laser cutters and robotics in the design and technology course. As yet, there has been no indication from where funding for these developments will come. 3D printing is able to help students understand and learn core STEM principles, but it also allows teachers to bring in cheap, easily made visuals that assist the learning process in almost any subject. 3D printing will revolutionize education, empower invention, enable experimentation, and invigorate our rural economy. The technology is perfect for dreamers, tinkerers, inventors, educators, artists, architects, designers, entrepreneurs, and renovators. Printables enable teachers and students to answer complex questions and demonstrate their answers in three dimensions. They can solve real-world problems by constructing and experimenting with a variety of possible solutions. Language teachers can print out physical representations of objects rather than simply handing out vocabulary lists. This allows kinaesthetic learners to use their sense of touch as a valuable aid to memory, something that is ignored by most commercial textbooks. Geography teachers can print out topography, demographic, or population maps, while history teachers can print out facsimiles of historical artifacts for classroom examination and discussion. Instead of just showing a picture of a medieval tool or a King's seal, students will be able to handle copies of the actual objects. In science classes, such as biology and chemistry, students will be able to print 3D models of molecules, DNA, bacteria, cells, viruses, and even organs. Complex excel graphs might be easier for accountancy students to read if they were printed in 3D to look like wireframe buildings using cubes of colored resins. Maths students could work on data visualizations that put simple numbers and formulas into tactile form. Students in cookery classes will be able to create all kinds of original molds, and the list just goes on and on. All we need now is for those of us with 3D printers to get into schools and start showing teachers how to make the best use of this technology. Another manufacturer, Afinia, has teamed with Pitsco Education to make a start by offering an affordable 3D printer combined with curriculum and activity materials. As well as important back up services such as a one-year warranty and telephone support, the package includes a custom designed “3D Printing: Designing and Prototyping: curriculum that includes three weeks of hands-on lessons and activity materials. Colleges and Universities A team at Michigan Technology University have begun work on a library of open source printable optics for study in a laboratory setting. In addition to providing the STL files, the authors point out that such printable equipment could make scientific experimentation much more affordable and efficient. At present the cost of outfitting an undergraduate teaching laboratory with thirty optics set ups including a 1 m optical tracks, optical lens, adjustable lens holder, ray optical kit, and viewing screen, costs about $15,000 for commercially available equipment. In comparison, the total cost using the open-source optics approach is about $500, providing over $14,500 in savings. The study found cost reductions of more than 97 percent, with some components costing only 1 percent of the market price for products of similar function. In addition, commercial suppliers can take weeks to deliver orders. With open source printables, there is no sales tax, shipping costs, or waiting for parts to come into stock. An experimenter may not know so far in advance exactly what type of equipment will be required. Printables solve that problem by making individual pieces completely on demand.

We've featured a ton of survival and MacGyver tips over the years that could help you out of a fix, but what if you're next to someone else who's having an emergency? Don't just stand there as the person chokes or faints! Know what to do in these life-or-death situations.Before we start, the very first thing you should do is call for emergency help (or if someone else is around make sure they call 911). Then, while you're waiting, see what you can do to help the person. Also, make your safety a priority too. As flight attendants emphasize before takeoff, when the oxygen mask comes down, you have to secure yours first—otherwise you're of no use to anyone else.How to Perform CPRWhen you think "life-saving skills," the first thing that probably comes to mind is CPR, the technique that could make all the difference for someone who has collapsed and is under cardiac arrest. It's always best to take a class, so you know the proper procedures and have practiced them beforehand, but even without official training you could save a life if no one else is around with more CPR experience. Solely watching a one-minute instruction video about CPR could make you a better life-saver."Hands-only" CPR can be done for anyone (except newborns) whose heart has stopped beating, according to the American Heart Association/Mayo Clinic. With this technique, also known as "compression-only" CPR, you press down about 2 inches deep on the chest at a rate of about 100 times per minute until the paramedics arrive—and skip the giving breath part. According to one medical review examiner, singing the BeeGees' song "Stayin' Alive" will help you keep that tempo. (Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" is another alternative, but probably not appropriate in this situation).What to Do If Someone May Be Having a Heart AttackWith one out of every seven deaths happening in the US because of heart disease, it's important to know the common signs of heart attacks and what you can do to help a person going through it. Sometimes the symptoms are obviously cardiac arrest (which would require CPR, above), and at other times they're not so dramatic and could just seem like heartburn. After calling for help, if the person is over the age of 16 and confirms he/she isn't allergic to aspirin—and isn't taking any medications that could interact with it—offer a tablet of aspirin, which the Mayo Clinic says could reduce damage to the heart.How to Help Someone Who Is ChokingIn restaurants everywhere, you see posters illustrating how to do the Heimlich maneuver when the person's airway is blocked by food or another object. Chances are those posters aren't in your home or out in the street as you go about your everyday life, so this first aid technique, demonstrated in the video above, is useful to memorize for any environment. Note: before doing the abdominal thrusts, give five blows to the person's back with the heel of your hand.How to Save Someone Who's DrowningDrowning is one of the most common causes of accidental death, especially among children. If you're not a skilled swimmer who knows how to swim with a possibly flailing person, the most important thing to know is that swimming out to the person should be the last resort. Family Doctor offers this mnemonic: "Reach, throw, row, go"Reach: If the person is near the edge of a pool or dock, lie flat on the ground and try to reach the person. Use a tree branch, oar, towel, or shepherd's hook to lengthen your reach. If you have to, get in the water and hold onto the pool edge or dock while trying to reach the personThrow: Throw a safety ring, if availableRow: Get a boat (again, if one's available)Go: Swim out as the last resort. Bring a rescue safety ring, towel, or shirt with you so you can tow the person in.How to Treat BleedingThere are different kinds of bleeding, from a minor scrape to the most dangerous type, arterial bleeding. In either case, your goal is to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. According to the Mayo Clinic, after washing your hands and putting on gloves (if available; a clean plastic bag could suffice), you should:Have the person lie down and cover him or her with a blanket. Elevate the site of bleeding.Remove any obvious dirt or debris from the wound, but leave any large or deeply embedded objects.Apply continuous pressure with a clean cloth or bandage for at least 20 minutes without looking to see if the bleeding has stopped.Add more gauze if you need to.If the bleeding doesn't stop, apply pressure to the artery: "Pressure points of the arm are on the inside of the arm just above the elbow and just below the armpit. Pressure points of the leg are just behind the knee and in the groin. Squeeze the main artery in these areas against the bone. Keep your fingers flat. With your other hand, continue to exert pressure on the wound itself."Leave the bandages in place and immobilize the injured body part once the bleeding has stopped.How to Treat a BurnLarge or severe burns should be treated by a medical professional, but Dr. Matthew Hoffman offers this advice on WebMD for steps you can take:Immediately after a burn, run cool tap water over the skin for 10 minutes. Then, cool the skin with a moist compress. Don't put ice, butter or anything else directly on the burned skin. Clean the skin gently with mild soap and tap water. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin, [Advil]) for pain. Simple burns involving only the very surface of the skin do not need dressings.The BBC, however, recommends running cold water for at least 20 minutes, as this can help for up to three hours, and also advises you remove clothing and jewelry. (That butter remedy really is a myth, by the way. Apparently people would put yogurt, tomato paste, raw egg whites, sliced potatoes, and even cooking oil on a burn. Butter might be useful if you have hot tar on your skin, but otherwise save those other items for your meals instead.)How to Deliver Baby in a Car (or Anywhere Else)The fear of every pregnant woman and her partner: Having to deliver the baby without help. This might not be a priority life skill for you if you don't often find yourself in the company of a pregnant lady, but one of the things about survival skills is you never know when you're going to need them. So, take this advice from The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, which says that babies basically deliver themselves (but still could use a little help):Time the uterine contractions. You'll know it's most likely real rather than false when contractions are about three to five minutes apart and last forty to ninety seconds, as well as increasing in strength and frequency, for at least an hour. This is for first-time mothers.Support the baby's head and then body as it moves out of the mother's bodyDry off the baby and keep it warm. Don't slap the baby's bottom, but do clear out any fluid from the baby's mouth with your fingers if necessary.Tie off the umbilical cord several inches from the baby with a piece of string (e.g., a shoelace).You don't have to cut the cord unless you're hours from the hospital. If that's the case, safely cut the cord by tying it again a few inches closer to the mother and cutting between the knots.If you have absolutely no alternative and the baby is starting to emerge feet first (a breech baby), the instructions are the same.How to Carry Someone Heavier Than YouUsually it's best to leave a person who's hurt where they are until medical help comes. You should never move a person who might have a head, neck, or spinal injury. In other cases, however, you might need to move someone to a safer location. If you're not very strong or that person is heavier than you, here's how to lift that person without hurting yourself in the process:With the person facing you, take the person's arm and pull it over your shoulderKneel down or crouch down so the person's middle is against your shoulderThrust up with your legs and hips to stand. Don't lean forward or you'll hurt your back.The person will now be hung over your shoulder and you can walk around.Wiki How offers illustrated steps. It also recommends trying this on small people or children first, which could be awkward or entertaining depending on the guinea pig.Hopefully you'll never need to put any of these life-saving tips into play, but whether you have a first aid kit on you or not, at least you'll know what to do just in case. Bonus: Here's a printable two-page guide (PDF) to treating a few other common injuries, including a bleeding nose and sprains, from Real Simple.
