Ahead of Thanksgiving, one of the busiest traveling days of the year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a report that shows secondhand smoke is a major problem at some major U.S. airports. The CDC's study focused on five of the 29 largest airports in the country that allow smoking in designated smoking areas. 9 Photos 7 Airports that Don't Care about Your Lungs These airports are Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Denver International Airport and Salt Lake City International Airport. The CDC said these five airports account for 15 percent of all U.S. travel last year, with more than 110 million passengers traveling. Two other large-hub airports, Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, have designated smoking areas that are not accessible to the public, such as in private clubs.

HOUSTON –  Former President George H.W. Bush is undergoing more physical therapy as part of treatment for a painful cough that has forced him to stay in a Houston hospital for almost two weeks. Methodist Hospital spokesman George Kovacik (Koh-VAH'-chik) said Wednesday that the 41st president remains in stable condition with a bronchitis-related cough. Kovacik says the 88-year-old Bush has progressed to the point where he is increasing his physical therapy activities. Kovacik says doctors are pleased with Bush's improvement. No date is set for his discharge. Bush has been hospitalized since the day after Thanksgiving. Bush's ailment is described as not life-threatening but painful. Bush and his wife, Barbara, split their time between homes in Houston and Kennebunkport, Maine.
