Airing the room out does not remove the smell that sinks into the furnishings in the room. Replacing them is the only solution after a short time. Smokers tend to think that when there is no visiable smoke in the air that the smell is gone. Its not.

No, smokers think that if there's no visible smoke, then there's no longer even the potential of any health threat to the next guest. You see, when the "studies" decrying the health threat of second hand smoke were thoroughly debunked, the anti-smoking crusade had to quietly adopt the "we just don't like the smell" line. Hoosierskypilot has somewhat more adroitly adopted the dual "it's for the children/it keeps my taxes high" gambit. Both are lacking, in my opinion. Which one do you subscribe to?

My asthma is triggered by tobacco smoke. Really thick smoke will cause ulsers inside my nose. I am really allergic to the stuff. Stinky rooms are just offensive & make me gag. I would sleep in my car before I'd bed down in a smoking room.
