Just wondering what the ratio of smoking to non-smoking rooms is in North America and Europe these days? Not to mention other parts of the world. It seems to me that there are fewer non-smoking rooms than smoking rooms in most NAmerican properties, and that non-smoking rooms tend to get filled more rapidly. In Europe and Asia, the number of smoking rooms must be even greater.

This leads me to wonder if non-smokers have less likelihood of receiving an elite upgrade to suites, exec/tower floors, etc. from most hotel programs than do smokers? Fewer rooms, fewer opportunities to upgrade [unless one doesn't particularly care about getting a smoking room].

Any thoughts?
