Sorry, but you can't blame this change in the law on liberals. It's good a business position to take. More people ask to have their rooms changed after checking in because the rooms they were assigned smell bad than there are smokers who check in. It also costs the hotels and motels more money to maintain a room where smokers are because they have to dry clean the drapery and bed spreads more often, not to mention they have to paint more often and replace furniture and counter tops with burn marks more often. The hotels and motels can have a smoker's lounge where smokers can go and the management has a chance to sell them snacks and drinks while they smoke and their insurance rates go down. The law is good for their business.
Here's a thought, leave the choice up to the hotel owner, and let them make the decision on whether or not they want to allow smoking or not. Let the people taking on the risk of their decision, benefit from, or suffer the consequences for that decision.
That's the problem with liberal tyrants, they make decisions with zero risk to themselves, but everyone who is affected by their decisions will suffer consequences of the risks involved.
People like 0bama will force new CAFE standards down our throats, forcing all of us to take the increased risk of sitting behind the wheel, driving around in a fragile tin box, a 45 mpg, coffin on wheels. But 0bama will never have to drive one himself.
So let me get this right...
Liberals are non-smokers. All smokers are conservatives. My office campus, BTW, is non-smoking campus. Employees and visitors alike are not allowed to smoke anywhere inside. Those who smoke have to walk to the street.
Good, I wish every state would ban those cancer sticks from the motel rooms. You want to smoke, go outside if its that important to you. I cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke. The more indoor areas than ban it, the better.
We should ban booze too. Nothing worse then going out to dinner and hearing some loudmouth drunk yapping away.
And obesity, how the hell am I supposed to enjoy a meal with some overweight slob sitting 2 tables away. I mean ya can hardly eat without wondering if someday you will look like that pathetic pig if ya finish all of ya meal.
The cons in the society are big on that too. There are plenty of suburbs around Dallas, any of them hardly qualifying as a progressive heaven, that are "dry". In fact, many are "smoke-free" as well by law.
Marriott hotels have been smoke free for years - regardless of the state. As someone who stays in hotel rooms every week, I can attest to the fact that staying in a room adjacent to a smoking room is nearly as bad as staying in a smoking room.
I'm quite conservative, but pleased to hear this. No need to smell the rank , lingering odor of smoke in public.
It's a foul, disgusting, unhealthy addiction.

True. It is disgusting to be given a hotel room where someone has smoked before. If I can't find a non-smoking room in a hotel, I go to a different hotel.
I'm not a smoker but as long as you aren't smoking in my presence I don't care. Does smoke travel from one room to another? Probably. To me this is no different than banning music at ear blasting decibels, and I love loud music.
