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. I understand fully. I just can't find a way to make everyone happy. One thing we've got that really works is a VERY expensive commercial ozone generator. We run that thing in our smoking-permitted suites after each guest, and you won't smell smoke in those units after it has been run for as little as 30 minutes. Trouble is, if you bury your face into the couch cushions, or the mattress, the smell is still there. It just can't be eliminated entirely -- and neither can pet dander. Difference is, one bothers some people, while the other makes some people incredibly ill. Both are awful. Do you offer "No Nuts" rooms. Some people go into shock if somebody has eaten a peanut butter sandwich in the room. (Hmmm are they the nuts?) |

I quit 30 years ago. In the beginning I had to consciously separate
various activities from cigarets, such as having a cup of coffee without having to have a cigaret, etc. As time went on it got easier and easier. At some point I stopped thinking about it and don't miss it anymore. So I hope the same happens with you. Then you'll be the biggest smoking critic there ever was! Good luck!

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. I am also a convert. I had gone down to half pack a day of Lucky Strikes before quitting cold turkey before moving to a new house I did not want to smell like an ashtray like the former one. I now can detect a smoker 3 blocks aways and HATE being downwind from a smoker. I drop my clothes in the washing mashine every time I get back from a public place where people smoke and hate the smell. Yet -- despite all that -- sometimes I REALLY want a smoke. Still. yup. want the cigarrete. not the smoke. -- Eduardo K. | http://www.carfun.cl | "World domination, now" http://e.nn.cl | Linus Torvalds |
