NCL still allows smoking in your cabin and on the balcony, in the
casino (I think--we don't gamble, so not sure on that one) and on the
outer decks. We thought this might be a problem for us on our last
voyage, but it turned out that we had a wonderful view out to sea from
"our table" outside Henry's Pub--and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,
with excellent bar service even though we were sitting just outside
the bar.

Cheers,

Peg

What hour are we in? The issue of smoking in your cabin is changing
almost hourly. I've heard some lines are charging extra to your account
(extra cleaning charge) if smoke is smelled in your cabin. Still ok
to smoke on the Balcony of most main stream lines. But, I suggest you
check with the line your interested in sailing to have the most current
up to date information.

Regulations may change from time of booking to date of sailing, the
way have been going, the last month or two.

There are none- Stay home.

A dumb answer that accomplishes nothing. Tell that to the new cruise
line starting up in France for French customers and see where you
get...

It's kind of you to provide that reference, Peg, and I thank
you. After so many decades of the occasional cigarette, it would
be uncomfortable for me to quit - yet I would like to enjoy a
cruise from time to time.

And I think smoking is far less of a social problem than some of
the behaviors exhibited in this community - including the
pathology that generates such responses as "There are none -
Stay home."

You're absolutely right. It's not a social problem. It's a health problem.
The smoke is full of cancer causing compounds (duh). The states that are
putting in laws restricting smoking in public places are not worried about
the smokers' health, they are worried about the effect of second hand smoke
on the people around them. Like bar tenders, waitresses, casino workers.
Plus people with asthma and allergies are much more severely impacted by the
smoke.

Plus... on ships there are Two other problems. One is safety - related to
the potential for Fire. The Second is the amount of work and cost to clean
up cabins after smokers. And those are Money issues...

Good news for anyone that still smokes,they are thinking about raising
the tax on smokes,to pay for some sort of health coverage for
children,and low income families,instead of $60.00 a carton they will
mostly be closer to 80.00
