The "Non-Smoking Hotel"

India often has a see no evil type of attitude toward breaking rules that I find very interesting.  For example, smoking in hotels is prohibited by law.  When we entered a very smoky room, we mentioned that it was smoky and asked if they had a non-smoking room.  The porter quickly removed the ashtray (yes, there was an ashtray), ran to get some fruity spray, which he spritzed all around the room and then declared that "all our rooms are non-smoking."  They eventually switched our room, but without ever admitting that the first room might have been smoked in.
