I can certainly understand the disgust many non-smokers have for smokers and I'm not sure if the Cruiselines would totally make their ships nonsmoking.  Most of the cruise business has Europeans for clients and Europeans smoke...alot.

I am a light smoker and I try to be considerate of non-smokers.  I am not a drinker though and I don't like to see people getting drunk and sloppy and puking all over the place and being obnoxious, noisy and rude.   But...it goes along with the territory I suppose.  I try to stay away from obnoxious drunks...and believe me...it's hard to do on a cruise.  

Luckily there are cruises for non-smokers...and I imagine the reason there aren't that many of them is because there are more smokers who spend big bucks on cruises...and the cruiselines know they'd lose that business.

There's lots of gambling on ships too...except the Disney line.  So, looks like people go on cruises to have a good time drinking, smoking and gambling.

I don't think I'd go outside my house though if I had severe respirtory problems...the toxins from our polluted enviornment can be as bad as cigarette smoke.
