Same here. I will only stay in hotels that still offer smoking rooms even though I might not even get one just because I don't feel like smoking as much on that trip (or am going through one of my many "I'm trying to quit" phases). Until they outlaw smoking, I find it terribly oppressive and condescending of hotels that do this.

Also, I'm one of those smokers who will smoke in a non-smoking hotel room. But only if I asked (and confirmed) a smoking room in advanced and was then given a non-smoking room when I arrived. Passive agressive maybe, but if the front desk had to give my room up to some walk-in smoker, then they can de-smoke my room for not giving me what I reserved. Or, they can maybe open up more smoking rooms if they're in that great a demand. Hell, if need be, they could charge $10 extra a night for a smoking room and I would pay it without complaint as long as I got that room.

I hate it when they have the ash trays right in front of or next to the entrance. Not to mention me having to look guilty or suffer through a lecture when someone with a baby carriage strolls up. Dude, I'm not the one who came up with the grand idea of getting rid of the enclosed smoking lounges inside and now force smokers through security twice (if on a layover) to loiter around the entrance of the airport while spreading second-hand smoke to everyone the wind blows on.
