The other thing that I found when I was quitting and went on a cruise was that when I did walk by the smoking area, for some reason I felt sorry for these people stuck under the roof of this area by the outdoor pool as they puffed away. I was glad I could walk around freely in the sunshine and go where ever I wanted to go without needing to stay in that one covered smokey area. And each time I did go by there in the coming days ... always the same people in that shaded, smokey place. It occurred to me, what a waste of time & money to go on a cruise and just sit there smoking in the same uninteresting area the whole time. Might as well have just stayed home and smoked. Would have saved the cost of the cruise! Now that was my experience but others may have a completely different reaction to the same situation. We're all different which is what makes life interesting. We experience things differently at times.
