This makes me laugh. One tax cash cow ( by hotel hospitality taxes ) tries to take out another. The end result is obvious.

On the other hand I'm glad to have this as a choice freely provided in the open market without government intervention.
I'll join your boycott if the government ever makes it mandatory.

And I am going to ban sweaty people from my business, because they are stinky. My customers do not like people with B.O.
You are all warned.

They have hotels worldwide. Why only the US and Canada? They should show some "guts" and do it in all of their hotels.

I spent 5 hrs Saturday at a VFW hall working a fundraiser.
The place was full of smoke.
It sucked.

(Not that I'd be staying there anyway, of course.) Where I have a problem is when the government gets involved and forces all businesses (restaurants, bars, etc) to be smokefree.

One of the hotel chains under the Starwood group is Sheraton.

I stopped smoking 6 weeks ago. Haven't desired a cigarette since then after smoking for 25 yrs. I won't be staying at this hotel anytime, though. There are other places to stay that appreciate peoples business.
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
People occasionally smoking doesn't bother me as long as the smoke isn't blowing in my face. Occasionally I have had to stay in smoking rooms when others are taken and it's different. No matter how much they clean there is a staleness. If I smoked I would prefer not to do it in my room but if yall want to I think it should be your right as long as smoking rooms are designated.

"Fundraising...They'd better save their money for their cancer treatments!"My sense is that they will drink themselves to death before they die of cancer.
Not a pretty sight. Lots of Vets, spouses, widows getting hammered before three in the afteroon.

I have a big problem with the government (Federal, state, or local) telling a hotel chain it must ban smoking. But that's not what is happening here. Westin is a private enterprise, and has made a marketing decision based on its customer feedback.
They have my full support. I hope other chains follow suit.
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
but but what if i am on fire?
will they ban me from smoking or put me out?
