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.
Exactly! Marriott has the right to define their policies, and the consumer has the right to decide whether to patronize the establishment.
I hate to tell you that it will only be a matter of time until government mandates that all guest rooms be smoke free. It's for the chillun!!!
I'll bet nanny-state and her legion of worshippers are PO'd because they didn't get to force their will on this company.
A choice was made, that's fine by me.
Thanks for the ping!
Er, you are aware that the military is run and funded by the government right? G.I. means, literally, "government issue". If you wish to learn what happens in a country without a government, look no further than Zimbabwe.
