bwv smoking/non-smoking

Have reservations for two studios, preffered view at bwv. Does anyone know how the smoking vs non smoking rooms are located. Have requested one of each.

All of the smoking rooms are on the second floor (same floor as the lobby). I do not know if there are any non-smoking rooms on that floor, but the only smoking rooms are all on second floor. At least that is what was told - I'm sure someone will correct me if that is not correct.

There are also some non-smoking studios on the second floor. We stayed in a standard view in July. The rooms across the hall (which would be preferred view) were also NS. Since there are no dedicated 2 BRs at BWV, some of those room are likely also studios (which can be combined with an adjacent 1 BR to make a 2 BR).

Somewhat OT but related to this issue is that FL has just voted to eliminate smoking from all restaurants. I think it goes into effect 1 Jan. Standalone bars are excluded but there was no mention as to how this issue would be determined. A friend who is a manager at a local steak house said he thought the cutoff would be those that sell more than 50% as alcohol over food. He was very happy as even with an ever decreasing size of his smoking area, he had trouble keeping it full. Even then, it was mostly people that wanted first available. I asked him about the assertion that smokers bought more alcohol and spent more money. He said he didn't see that but they tied up the tables longer while not bringing in that much more revenue and he said he felt he'd make more in the long run from faster turnover.

So we will now have the room occupancy police and the smoking in restaurants police, LOL.

Actually, I was just thinking about this yesterday. Sitting out by the pool (LP) looking around, it is amazing how many people smoke on their balconies. I know another debate topic. But there definately were quite a bit scattered throught the LP area.
