You know what I am an ex-smoker too, and like Scunner am
sympathetic to the smoker and try not to be one of those holier than Thou types I hear all the time!
I always enjoyed having a smoke on the Balcony in the morning with my coffee and with a drink in the evening, and found that if I asked for an ashtray for the Balcony the Hotel were very happy to provide one. No ash on the balcony floor to be cleaned up and no ash falling on your neighbours, problem solved for everyone!
I think the lkaw in Turkey mayu well cover rooms but apart from the odd wander in and out most smokers use the balcony.
