You cant say its a 'punishment'... Realistically, I could pay TEN times that, and not even notice...

Why not just say "NO SMOKING" and be done?

TBH, for myself, (And I guess Brad as well... lol ) the 'FINE' is not so much a "Deterrent", as it is an "Invitation"?

Again, let me state that this is NOT about smokers VS non smokers... Just about the logic of imposing a 'fine'???
You are right, a $150 penalty is not appropiate. The fine should be $1500 taken right off of your credit card, that way it would actually have the intended effect of deterring smokers from poisoning the whole floor of the hotel. And if they can't afford the fine or your credit card doesn't have room on it they should bring back debtors prison and throw smokers in until they pay it off.
