Mysore’s 1st hotel with smoking chambers


Even as most hotels are dragging their feet ever since the country-wide ban on public smoking from October, Parklane Hotel in Mysore has taken the lead in implementing it.Very few hotels in the City of Palaces have earmarked open spaces in their premises as smoking zones. But Parklane has gone a step ahead and set up a state-of-the-art smoking chambers.

There are two 10 ft x 8 ft chambers - one for men and the other for women - beside its restaurant on the second floor of its building. These air tight chambers have a fan which pumps in fresh air and a pipe fitted with suckers to pump
out smoke.

Each chamber can accommodate eight to ten persons and provides an electric lighter and a big ash tray. These chambers not only fulfill all the conditions of the smoking ban but also satisfy the customers.

“The exhaust pipe is fitted with two motors to suck all the smoke and goes 15 ft above the building to assure that the smoke will not create any health hazards to other customers or people in the vicinity,” says the Parklane’s managing partner N G Venkatesh.

Customer’s cooperate
“We don’t allow any person to smoke in our premises. We suggest them to smoke in the specially provided area only. As per norms we do not offer any services in the smoking area. Initially there was some resistance, however it is being accepted by most of them. Our regular customers have got adjusted to the new set up,” says K N Guptha, another managing partner of the hotel.

Smokers like Chandrashekhar are welcoming Parklane’s smoking chambers. He says, “It is good. In the beginning we felt it was unusual as we are used to enjoying a puff along with a drink.

However, we have become accustomed to the new setup.

We are happy that there is no need for other customers to suffer from our bad habit. I have not seen any other restaurant in the city providing such facility,” he says.

Though the smoking chambers have been around for some days in the hotel, they were formally inaugurated on Monday.
