Avoiding smoker guests

[Erika45]

I would like to say I don't mind smokers but I would't like to have them in my home even if they do not smoke in the house, the smell they have is strong enought to make me and my family unconfortable.

How can avoid or stop smokers booking my place ?

@Erika45  I have seen some hosts state it in their rules, things the guest must acknowledge and in the listing description: Non Smokers Only. It won't stop a guest that smokes from booking all the time, but it might help some.

Hi @Erika45

I can not stand the smell of smoke and have a very strict non smoking policy.

Only one occassion have I had a someone arrive stinking of cigarette smoke.  He admitted he was a smoker and Airbnb immediately removed him and found him another place to stay.

Even when they have booked, in my Welcome message it states We can only accept non smokers and if they smoke to cancel their booking

My listing clearly states we can only accept non smokers and have found the majority of guests book here because its a clean non smoking home.

I know some would say its Draconian stance, but it works for me and my guests
