Somewhat back to the subject of this thread, I would like to see them make all the decks at K Smoke Free! :-x It was nice in Colorado at the resorts we hit a couple weeks ago sitting out on the decks with just fresh air and no toxic fumes blowing in our face...

Smoking ban? I agree. And while we are on the subject of decks, can we get one outside of Superstar Pub?

And put in enough electrical outlets to feed a band's sound system.

I'm all for a ban on smoking on the decks and the beaches. (Ban smoking on the lifts and in the lift lines while at it).

I know in some beaches by me you can only smoke in certain marked off areas on the beach. What they should do is just give anyone who throws a butt on the ground a $100 ticket, and really enforce it! LITTER POLICE... put the rent-a-cops to work.

I do not drop them..carry in - carry out - leave no trace etc. etc. Plus a piece of paper disintegrates a lot faster than a cig filter.

I was sitting on the KBL deck last Saturday and some slobbering teenager is there just dropping wads of spit on the deck. Talk about disgusting...

+1.....I tried to communicate this idea to the management (and I use that term loosely) of Killington last year...banning smoking on the decks, lifts and in the lines. Absolutely no response. It is totally annoying (not to mention unhealthy) to be subjected to cigarette smoke where it clearly doesn't belong. Those who must partake can to sit in their cars and puff to their hearts content!

Interesting. POWDR has banned them from those locales at Park City.

while all are subjected to the smell and exhaust of cigarettes, you still find it perfectly acceptable to place those who do not partake in the smoking of herb in a gondi car that smells like bad leaves burning. I seem to see a double standard here.

AND, if you continue to ban smoking in places the number of smokers is diminished. How will the Ted Kennedy's and other politicians of this country pay for all those pet projects smokers fund with their taxes?
