Re: Angry Smokers Cancel $3 million of Bookings! Posted on: Fri, 07 Sep 2007 11:58:29 -0400

We changed cruise ship line because of the no-smoking policy on one of
the lines... to another where smoking IS allowed. We strenuously
object to being told we cannot smoke while we continue to pay taxes on
tobacco that are higher than is justified simply to try to stop new
smokers. When you've been smoking for 40 or 50 years, these sorts of
rules are just plain annoying and we can choose to spend our money
elsewhere, after all.
