Having a smoking section in an open restaurant is like having a peeing section in the other side of the pool.

I just love to see this second-grade logic return. Recycling at its finest.
Having a rational discussion with an anti-smoking taliban type is like... never mind. Just go into the non-peeing pool. Too complicated for you?

No, its not complicated to understand that smoking sections of restaurants although separated by distance does not effectively block off the dangerous second hand smoke, unless you find the statistics of second hand smoke to be just nothing but right wing propaganda?

I dont have a problem with ppl who choose to smoke.. perhaps there should be smoking restaurants for smokers? I could then choose not to eat there. You could choose to eat there if you like.
