To remove them would potentially isolate those FlyerTalk members who benefit from their use and need those subforums to travel smarter and better.

That includes the Smoking Lounge forum.
^ Bolding mine: I could have bolded the entire post and in my opinion, I couldn't agree more* ^

*I post this as a smoker and not as one of the co-moderators of The Smoking Lounge forum
