But you need to understand how the world works. Now that they made the change, they will put pressure on federal and local governments to enact smoking bans in every area they have a hotel or restaurant. The second thing is that what Marriott does will be followed by other major hotels and restaurants and these will also push for smoking bans after they adopt no smoking policies.
The only hope for smokers is for them to run a national campaign that calls for them to adopt a polite smoking policy and self police. But they won't, they can't see the problem or they are too addicted to care.
What's wrong RAYMAN? Sad to see your beloved nanny state didn't get to twist some arms in this deal?
Go fill out a 1040, and do what you're told by your master.
I fill out my own, and cheat like a baseball player on steroids.

The problem, Ray, is people like you that are hypocrits.
In this particular case I have no problem with it. It's the companys choice and therefore I can vote with my feet and wallet.
In your case, you say, "Oh no, I would never vote for a smoking ban. But I sure do enjoy the results."
It's people like you that created the problem.

What planet do you live on? Don't you understand P.C corporate speak, when you hear it. I know many, many people in the hotel business. As long as you and the rest of the ilk bought the speel, good for them. They're having a good chuckle at your expense. They are going to throw out every pipe, cigar, doobie, and cigarette smoker who are paying top dollar to appease a single sniveler like you ? Puleeeeeze. These are private rooms. If you don't like the smell of Rush's cigar coming out of his 1500.00 a night suite, or some rock stars cigarette or doobie, they'll be happy to escort you someplace else. Bank on it. Hotels hate busybodies.
Actually, the only hope is civil disobedience.
I'm almost happy that anti-smokers actually appear to be willing to push it that far.
