Does anyone wish there were non-smoking ships in the fleets, as there used to be?
Are you a smoker and feel like you are treated like a bad person?
What would be the best way around the smoking issue on ships?
Or are you just not worried by it, and have a live and let live attitude

I don't worry about it to much. Most of my family smokes though. My mom likes having to go outside on the top floor and smoking on the right side. I think thats the rules on the last boat we were on. I think it is fine the way it is.
I am a smoker...my DH not. I have had no problem with smoking on the ships as I just use the balcony if I have one or go to the deck. I actually think they should reduce smoking in the lounges and bars for the sake of others...

I agree with you in the sense that you shouldn't be allowed to smoke in the bars or lounges just out of respect for the people around you. But I don't really see a problem if they have designated areas for smokers.
The smoking on ships has never bothered me. I'm an on again, off again smoker so smoke doesn't get to me. I do think they could have better ventilation in the casino and some lounges for the comfort of all.
8 days today without a cigarette! woo hoo. Maybe I'll stick to it this time.

I am a smoker and really do not think that it would bother me If I would have to go out on deck and smoke. { think it is just respect for the people that do not smoke.
