Depending upon where you travel, and if those locations have a high incidence of international guests, there's a good chance they're "flipping off" the hotel & it's non-smoking policies. I've been in many non-smoking rooms in Hawaii that have a faint smell of smoke.
I wonder if there are just not that many smoking rooms in a hotel that sometimes they are already taken? Or if you are elite in some program if the upgrades/concierge floors have fewer smoking rooms?
As for the people being upset about the smoking policies I can see that being the case that folks just say hey I am a smoker it is my right. Same thing that happens in rental cars.
