If the "nasty smokers" would keep their habit to their designated
cabins, I'd be satisfied.
As a cancer survivor, I don't appreciate having to be assaulted by
carcinogens in public areas of the ship.
On our Panama Canal cruise this past winter, there were many people who
thoughtlessly lit up by the pool and on the decks where there were small
children and elderly passengers with portable oxygen tanks. Several
times we had to leave the trivia contests because it was held near one
of the bars where smoking was permitted.
I suggest that cruise ships charge extra for smoking rooms and have a
small area of the deck set aside for smokers as well as one bar that
people don't have to walk past to get anywhere else in the ship. The
extra for smoking cabins would cover the special ionizers and the time
to clear the air, not to mention shampooing the furniture and carpets
and laundering the bedspreads to get the stink out.
"Nasty" is the right word for people who insist upon inflicting their
dangerous behavior on others.
