• FYI to smokers who travel

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:03 am**

I just received this via email from the Marriott hotel chain.

In order to accommodate the preferences of the vast majority of our guests, all MarriottÂ® hotels in the United States and Canada will become 100% smoke-free by October 15, 2006.

This is the industry's largest move to a smoke-free environment and includes over 2,300 hotels and corporate apartments under the
Marriott, JW MarriottÂ®, RenaissanceÂ®, CourtyardÂ®, Fairfield InnÂ®,
SpringHill SuitesÂ®, Residence InnÂ®, TownePlace SuitesÂ® and
Marriott ExecuStayÂ® brands. The new policy includes all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, public spaces, and employee work areas.

Currently more than 90 percent of Marriott guest rooms are already non-smoking, and smoking is prohibited in many public spaces due to local laws. Designated smoking areas will be made available outside of the hotel for our guests who smoke.

awsome.
hopefully more places will pick up this policy. sorry, i know a lot of you smoke, but you really don't have the right to make non-smokers like myself have to deal with it. i have always been against indoor smoking. outdoors however, i don't really see how it matters.

Geez I feel the same way. One of the reasons I don't go out much anymore to bars is because I sit there and my eyes start burning and when I get home I have to shower before bed and then again in the morning to try to get the stink off me. In the winter it really sucks because my coat will smell like stank and it has to be dry cleaned or whatever.

Go outside with your nastiness, please.

I love the thought that my tax dollars will one day not go to education, or public services, but to pay for some people's oxygen machine and chemotherapy, when there are children who need cancer treatments and have trouble paying the bills and they didnt' even make a conscious choice to take the risk...

Febreeze falls under the part of the sentence that says "or whatever." Ass.

OK. Deal, I will stop driving my car indoors if you stop smoking indoors.

So that orange haze hanging over most cities has nothing to do with this argument?

A couple days ago I actually got my boyfriend to adjust the brakes on my GT mountain bike....I live really close to the 4.5 mile 3rd creek greenway so I wanna go riding. I also live about 4 miles from work and would like to ride there, but its too dangerous to breath the ozone!

You are damned if you do and damned if you don't it seems....but I do try to limit my driving...but til they do something about it all, its kinda pointless. Sadly one person can't make a huge difference by biking to work.
