They don’t want the example for children of seeing someone in their own 
community. It isn’t a big problem for us because almost no one smokes. I only 
recently discovered that anyone smoked. We have had guests who smoked in the 
guest rooms but we have just reminded people that it isn’t allowed.

We would discuss it, then the people who smoke would voluntarily not smoke in 
gatherings or around children.
