I wasn't in a hotel room yesterday? Where did you get that idea from?
Typical anti smoker - making things up.

"Your" choice as in the generic smoker, not your choice as in your
*personal* choice. And it happens to about one in fifty hotel rooms I
stay in. Although, for all I know you were in at least one of them.


I drive a coach for a living, and I have to walk through the cloud of
smoke generated by smokers who light up as they cross the threhold of
the exit door, and then just stand there, and get offended when I close
the door to keep their smoke out. Their choice of smoking place removes
my chance of staying smoke free.

Whose choice is more important? The drug addict's or the clean living
person's?

Both. But the anti smoking fascists removed choice from the equation.


Just as smokers always did and still do. One bloke I know is no longer
welcome in my home because he does not understand that I do not want him
smoking in my living room, especially as he just lights up and puffs
away without asking my permission. The room reeks of smoke for days
afterwards.
