Despite the fact that I do not smoke, I do respect that some people do smoke and have the right to do what they want. There's no need for a complete ban but designating certain areas to be smoke-free is something that I appreciate.

Some establishments seems to have taken this into consideration. More and more have been making adjustments to protect everyone from exposure to second-hand smoke.

And in January 2006, Westin Hotels & Resorts in North America (US, Canada and the Caribbean) will be smoke-free. A first in the upscale hotel category.

And here are a few more places who have gone the smoke-free way. Check out smoke free world's directory of smokefree dining, entertainment & travel.

Like what Westin said, Breathe.
