B, as a former smoker who now uses an electronic (cannot stand the smell of smoke anymore) I can tell you that it is an addiction. Some individuals cannot go 5,7,14 days without a fix much less even an hour, while some can quit cold turkey without any issues. I personally need my nicotine. I would much rather have a place outside that interferes with as few people as possible than deal with all the grumpy individuals that cannot get their fix.  

 

And yes, even though I cannot stand the smell of smoke I will be out in the designated area with the smokers because that is the rule for electronics. I personally think it is the rule breakers who give all of us a bad image. 

just for funsies. My dad had been smoking since he was 14 years old. He has lived the majority of his life in the country where most people smoke, smoke a LOT and smoke indoors. He was smoking a pack a day, and when stressed - more than a pack a day. He finally quit smoking when he came to the States at 57. Dad is coughing a lot less (he used to "cough up a lung" during coughing bouts), he smells better, he breathes better, my mom who endured the smell and the smoke breathes better, and everyone is a lot happier. If a person who had been addicted for that many years, and tried to quit unsuccessfully many times, could quit for good...

 

The problem with cruise ships is that the wind blows the smoke everywhere, even if the smokers are confined to one small area. There have been times when I couldn't even walk by the entrance to the casino on the ships or had to walk through a thick cloud of awful smoke on the upper deck. It was pretty bad. I couldn't remember or wasn't aware when the smoking areas were, so when I suddenly walked right through the yuck, it was too late to turn around. I can't stand the smell of smoke. I don't want to breathe the pollutants and crap in, and I don't want my kid to inhale them either.

The problem with B is that even if the smokers remain in the designated outdoor area, the smoke rarely does. Smoking should be restricted to a dinghy that's towed while out to sea.
