Ban the Banners

Here's one hotel chain I'll not be staying in anymore.

Hotel chain Marriott International Inc. will announce on Wednesday that it is banning smoking in all rooms of its 2,300-plus hotels in the United States and Canada, the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site on Wednesday.

Don't want my business? Ok fine, I'll take it elsewhere.

Speaking of which, the stupid statewide smoking ban goes into effect Friday. There's a drive to show your support for the ban by dining out Friday night.

I think we'll be staying home instead. I encourage you to do the same.

GRRRRRRR! Our law went into effect last year, on October 1st. It sucks. It has changed my dining habits -- I am now 100% more likely to eat lunch in a bar/casino than the restaurant that I used to frequent, since bar/casinos are exempt until 2008 (or 09?).

It changed ours too when the Fayetteville ban passed. We started driving to other towns. Dunno what we'll do now, either stay home or drive to Missouri I guess.
