Emotive subject.

**Cruella DeVilla** · 10-09-2004, 13:03

Emotive subject of this poll is smoking. It is not intened to start any big debates or set smokers off against non smokers or the likes.

As you will notice on most villa adverts they do not allow smoking on the premises and only on the outside areas. Some villas are marketed as non smoking throughout.

Please answer truthfully and with thought to the other members if you have a strong view.

I smoke as many on here know and I do not smoke inside my own house and so would never
smoke inside anyone elses. I always smoke outside even in the winter. I also try and smoke
away from others as I know people dont like the smoke etc

Just to add a note to CDV's initial posting. She just wants the concencus on this subject and does not want to start a smoking vs anti-smoking debate (nor do I for that matter - the subject is way too emotive and people are almost certain to have very polarised views on the subject) [msnsmile2]

To be honest if we were told in advance it was no smoking inside we would respect it, however we have stayed in villas before that mentioned nothing until we got there, that is anoying. We have our own now and always let guests know that they can smoke outside but not in.

I have taken the hint! [msnsmile]. I am sure the others who think like me on this subject will do so too.

Agree with Chrisj. I am also a smoker, but I dont smoke in my house, only outside and would definately not appreciate arriving at a villa to it smelling of cigarettes.

CDV, these two are difficult to choose from!!

I would only smoke outside if that was the rule.
I would prefer to rent a no smoking villa

I wanted to choose both!!

Maybe you also need another category. Possibly:

"I would prefer to rent a no smoking villa which permitted smoking outside on the deck"
"I would prefer to rent a villa with no smoking permitted both inside and outside on the deck."?

Many, many homes do not permit smoking inside, under any circumstances, but then the owners of those homes are generally quite happy for smokers to smoke on the deck.
