As you say you have most UK airports covered not sure if you have east midlands or not? It has a smoking area right next to the bar so you can have a beer at the same time, a very pleasant surprise as I thought you couldn't smoke at any UK airport. I am now a converted vaperist( if that's a word) good work look forward to seeing the full compilation. 
 
Leeds Bradford Airport has a smoking area on the ground floor behind the sports bar near departure gates 1 to 5.
It is very, very basic, like a metal cage with no seating, They also charge £1 to go in there ( !!! !!! !!! ) but if you are a canny Yorkshireman like me, just wait until someone leaves and holds the door open.
 
In contrast, Burgas Airport in Bulgaria (serving Sunny Beach resort ) has an outdoor smoking area after you have passed through security. It has comfortable chairs and tables and a reasonably priced cafe to purchase food and drink.

Thank you gents.. I will update the list.. The £1 is interesting.. A similar system was introduced in a Russian airport...They just screwed up old fag packets and stuffed them in the lock... Now they removed the entry levy..
 
Also forgot Orlando sandford international has a sun deck that you can smoke
 
Birmingham has a little balcony type thing overlooking a road , you have to get the code for the door from the bar staff , it's bloody horrible and nowhere near big enough
Dusseldorf has a load of little glass box things which are pretty grim when full of smokers
 
I was at Munich airport 2 years ago and they had a glass room in the terminal I was in near the gates fir smokers. Also Dubrovnik airport has a smoking room on the first floor by the cafe.

The fish tank for smokers at Munich was still there last spring.
