Hotels introduce big fines for smoking

WalletPop notes a trend in which hotels introduce big fines for smoking – WalletPop. A number of hotel chains will be completely smoke-free by the end of 2008 and many are starting to introduce large fines for guests who smoke in their rooms . . . Sheraton and Four Points by Sheraton will be charging $200 while Disney World has a $500 fine. While smokers are complaining, others are not. WalletPop is correct that some enterprising “stop smoking retreats” might want to take advantage of the smoke-free and anti-smoking atmosphere by organizing their retreats there.
