Can you really not see the distinction?

Your question is absurd.

I am not welcome anymore at Marriotts because I like to smoke a cigar when I am finished with work for the day. (BTW, I found this out about six months ago when they ACCEPTED my reservation for a smoking room, and then only told me about the policy when I went to check in. I had them find me a room at another hotel, and I won't be back at a Marriott if I can help it.)

How 'bout if they said they didn't want anyone to change diapers inside their hotels. Would you think they still "welcomed" mothers with infants or toddlers?

That doesn't mean you cannot stay at Marriott. That only means you cannot smoke at Marriott.

There is a difference between changing diapers and smoking. The odor from diaper usually disipates after 10 minutes.

I have a friend who visits sometimes. She won't smoke in the house but her clothes cause the guest room to smell of smoke after only a couple of days. It's hard to believe but the room has to be aired out for a long time after.
