    On one trip, I had EXPLICITLY told the hotel to
    put me in a NON-SMOKING ROOM...and had booked it well in advance of the trip. They put me in a SMOKING ROOM instead

    That would be no problem in WV since all public areas (hotel rooms, offices, etc) are all smoke free.

    Nowadays, anyway.... Same thing here in NYS... :)

    And many outside areas are smoke free as well and not just around doorways, etc. For example Marshall University is smoke free (not
    just tobacco, but vaping, dipping, chewing, etc).

    That sounds like tobacco-free as well as smoke free... Hospitals and
    medical buildings around here also have tobacco/smoke free zones for a
    certain radius about the building and/or grounds....

    Marshall is a urban campus with city sidewalks around the edges and
    here and there. People can smoke in on those. One step this way and its
    a no-no, one step the other way and its allowed.
    The campus cops only enforce the ban if its blatant (walking though
    campus), or someone complains. But 99.9 per cent of the time by the time
    they arrive the smoker is gone. And even if someone is caught in the act
    they are told its not allowed and asked to put it out. No fines, etc
    unless its a repeat violator. I don't know of anyone during the time I
    was there on a regular basis being fined.
