More hotels go completely smoke-free |
|
Amid growing public concern about the dangers of secondhand smoke, the number of lodgings prohibiting smoking indoors has tripled in three years, according to a USA TODAY analysis of American Automobile Association data. |
There are more than 8,300 smoke-free lodgings in the USA - nearly 6,000 more than in 2005, AAA's figures show.
More than 7,000 of the smoke-free lodgings are hotels, motels, inns and B&Bs, while the rest are condos, cottages and other rentals.
AAA has the most extensive list of smoke-free lodgings, but the total is undoubtedly higher. AAA inspectors do not evaluate every lodging, and a growing number of state and local governments have passed laws restricting smoking in hotels and other public places.
