I despise smoking, and am appalled to say that most smokers are slobs. No
one does more damage to our property, I can't stand what smokers do to our
hotel, and I can't stand the way I stink when I get home from a bar full
of smokers.

Do you (now that you have been operated your inn for awhile and have hosted
smokers) understand why I (and my family), as dog owners, will NEVER stay in
a hotel that doesn't allow us to have our pet in a non-smoking room? I'm
sorry that there are some people whose animal allergies are so bad that a
thorough cleaning of a room after a dog has been in there isn't sufficient.
But there is no way for me to be comfortable in a room in which smoking has
been permitted.

It's funny...I'm sure some smokers are just plain slobs. But we have more
than one friend who, after finally quitting smoking, looked at (or smelled)
other smokers and said "was I really just like that?" To which we would
have to reply, "no...you were worse". It's amazing how dulled their senses
were to the smell of smoke in their clothes, hair, and to how much their
smoke got all over everything they owned (the layer of smoke on their car
windows, computer keyboards, etc.).
