Perhaps I misunderstood; but I do believe you misread the answer of

The first choice which

The response from
nsx was...
That would defeat the purpose of having a single forum where smokers can exchange information about smoking restrictions. The smoking aspect is a narrower category than the destination.
...meaning that if the topic of the discussion pertained to a hotel property in New York City, for example, it should stay in the new forum for smokers which has been proposed and
not be re-directed to the New York City forum — a concept with which I would agree.
I would also agree with you,
wharvey, that most — if not all — existing and future discussions related to smoking should be moved to the new forum if it is indeed created.
