The good news is that the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Sheraton+Chicago+Hotel+And+Towers/ian/129013"><b>Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers</b></a> has quit smoking this year, and they want to help you quit too. </p><p>The thing is that the Chicago Sheraton is now a 100% smoke-free environment, so rather than putting off its smoking guests, it's hoping to convert them to a smoke-free lifestyle with a couple of incentives. If you're staying at the hotel and you bring your pack of cigarettes and hand it over to the staff at the hotel fitness center, you'll be given a free one-day pass to use the fitness facilities.<p> The Chicago Sheraton suggests that "guests can "drown out" their cravings amandak 2008-02-06T10:56:20-05:00 41.889395 -87.619053 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/10/18/10361/138 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/choicehotels_brands.png" class="imgborder"><p> <b>[Update: Cambria Suites is 100% smoke free as well, according to the Choice peeps]</b> <p> Despite the growing trend of hotels to go 100 percent smoke-free in their guest rooms and public spaces, not everyone is thrilled with these changes. And "not everyone" is mainly smokers.<p>Audrey Silk, founder of the NYC C.L.A.S.H. (Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment), sent us an email wondering if all <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/choice%20hotels"><b>Choice Hotels</b></a> were 100 percent smoke-free as advertised on the Choice Hotels commercials.

All those late nights drinking, gambling, drinking some more, and perhaps smoking a cigarette or two with little sleep wears on your immune system so that by the time you get back home, after a germ filled flight no doubt, the head cold has already begun.<p>This time however, we headed to Vegas with some minor sniffles. It didn't seem like a problem. Our energy level was fine. We just had to blow our nose every now and then and pop some Dayquil.<p>Bad idea. Vegas is not the place to be when sick. First off, the casinos have some of the worst air quality in the world thanks to their Smoking Allowed juliana 2006-07-11T17:22:14-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
