Marriott going 100% smoke-free

    My big problem with smokers and hotel rooms is when smokers get non-smoking rooms then smoke.

    Even the smokers don't like smoking rooms, yet they'll smoke up a non-smoking room.

    If we can ban smoking in hotel rooms, any way we can ban pot smoking at outdoor concerts?
    Went to a concert last night and I swear I came home with a contact high. Ugh!

    An excerpt from The Detroit News' Tom Gage notebook:

    Where there's smoke

    There's Leyland.

    Finding a hotel that allows smoking, however, is getting increasingly difficult -- now that the Marriott chain has announced it will be smoke-free in September.

    What does that do to the chain-smoking manager?

    "I won't be there -- and you can write that," Leyland said after lighting up another Marlboro during his pregame media session.



    I love Jim Leyland.

    Sxy, are you really complaining about someone smoking pot at an outdoor (OUTDOOR) concert?

    Who did you see play, that you were so shocked by your contact buzz?

    I'm not bitching perse .. it's a free world and it was outdoors, but this is the second time I've gotten a contact-high at this particular outdoor venue. The first contact concert was Dave Matthews. The second was last night and if I reveal who it was, let's just say, you'd know where I live. haha.

    I wish there was a way I wouldn't be subject to inhaling marijuana. That's all.

    You're comparing apples to oranges.

    You can listen to the albums at home.
    Or you can go to the outdoor show and deal with the fact that people smoke dope at rock concerts.

    The important question is, did they at least offer you a hit?

    Dudes a row behind me at the Pearl Jam show I just went to smoked the entire time — and didn't offer anyone around them any. That's plain rude.

    Do you drive a gasoline-powered vehicle?

    The people who are so smug, self-righteous and condescending towards smokers will die of stress before second-hand smoke. Relax.

    Know what to expect when you go to a Willie Nelson show! LOL.

    My gasoline-powered vehicle has equipment to take the most noxious pollutants out of the exhaust. No nicotine addict can claim that.

    When you agree to wear a catalytic converter, you can smoke around me. Until then, I reserve the right to take yer damn cancer sticks away.
