San Francisco Hotels Cable cars are now a symbol of San Francisco. California's landmark statewide smokefree law　protects millions of Californians from secondhand smoke exposure. In January 1995, many of California's enclosed public places and workplaces went smokefree, and restaurants and bars went to 100% smokefree in January 1998. In 2009, the city of Boston enforced all hotels and motels a total smoking ban inside, excluding a guest room. Further, Marriott and Sheraton in North America announced to abolish all rooms which allow smoking, and declared to be smoke-free. Small number of hotel, e.g. Hilton San Francisco Union Square, provides a smoking room; however, the percentage to total rooms is merely 1.6%.

Hotels, that have both smoking and non-smoking rooms, do not adequately protect people from the dangers of tobacco. That is the conclusion of a new San Diego State University study published in the Journal Tobacco Control. Researchers took air quality readings and tested surfaces for evidence of tobacco-smoke in a random sample of San Diego hotel rooms. Ten hotels had complete smoking bans, while 30 others had some dedicated non- smoking rooms. Compared with hotels that prohibit smoking, hotels with only partial ban had higher surface and air nicotine levels. That was true even in the non-smoking rooms in hotels with a partial ban. Only five U.S. states, Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, Vermond and Wisconsin, require all motels and hotel rooms to be smoke free. Four cities in California, including Santa Monica, have such a law. Researchers say guests who want to avoid tobacco exposure should stay only in smoke-free hotels.
