Sure you don't smoke but you sell cruises and particularly group
cruises. My brother in law who never smoked owns a liquor store that
sells cigarettes. He seems rather ambivalent about smoking bans and
taxes because of that. I don't give Carnival much credit for only
banning smoking on one ship for a few years. It has to be a fleet wide
policy to be successful.
