when a guy at the table next to me but across that invisable line that denotes the smoking section, desides to light up while perusing his menu.Given your asthmatic condition and your sensitivity to cigarette smoke, one has to wonder why you would sit at a table so close to -- let alone next to -- the smoking section.
I know people who merely dislike cigarette smoke enough to ask for a table far away from the smoking section, and they don't even have a medical reason.
Oh, and although I'm not a smoker, I believe restauranteurs should have complete freedom to make the rules in their places of business. Let them appeal to the market as they wish, and let potential customers vote with their feet.
a local restarant was so smokey we walked out. @ 1 year later we checked it out again, no smoke at all. i told the manager what happened in the past and he said they put in a smoke eater.
did'nt know what a smoke eater was, but it sure cleared that place up.
This is a restaurant in my neighborhood that I frequent every few months. I have NEVER seen anyone smoking there & was not aware it was allowed. The owner told me he would be very glad to see the law passed here against ALL smoking because that would "let him off the hook". Apparently he has trouble saying no to a couple of old clients who still smoke. He said he did say no to a guy who wanted to stoke up his pipe. The guy stalked off saying he would never return. Guess what? He has come back. ha ha
