Does anybody know what the Regent policy is with regard to the staff including the officers. Are they allowed to smoke in certain areas and not allowed to smoke in their private (cabins) spaces. It would be interesting to know if the current changes have also resulted in changes to the staff smoking policies.

While I am not a smoker and my spouse does not smoke anylonger I for one think a policy that allowed smoking in certain cabins would make sense and make an accomadation to smokers.

I would not have posted but do think Regent read this forum and perhaps the posts here might, just might cause some rethinking about having some cabins as smoking cabins.

I also and have said this before, the number of people who today say they are allergic to smoke seems to be significantly more than say 30 years ago. 30 years ago few if any persons had a major issue with smoke, today it has become fashionable to complain. While I understand some may have real issues I must question the large numbers today that say they have an issue.

That now said I do believe that the issue will become less and less of an issue as there are fewer and fewer people that smoke today and expect that trend to continue in the future.

I would have not posted but do think Regent reads this forum and respects the opinions of the posters here. I would strongly suggest to Regent that it rethink the no cabin smoking policy and allow some smoking in certain cabins. That is simliar to some hotels and accomodates that percentage of the population that smokes. Makes sense to me.
