In all fairness to Florida--since the smoking ban went into effect, quite a few restaurants around here have added outdoor dining areas to accomodate smokers.

In fact, one restaurant I frequent does prohibits non-smokers out on their deck unless accompanied by a smoker. They will ask to see your cigarettes before seating if they don't recognize the patron. It's pretty funny.

That's great! Florida has the weather to DO that. Except on raining and high wind days. Wonder what smoker will go out in that? Still will cause some loss of revenue.

That's a restaurant I sure would patronize!!!!

Because of the climate, and ban wording in the case of Florida, neither California nor Florida business have been hit as hard as those in Delaware, New York and Maine....outside decks and patios can not and do not work in those locales in the winter.

Thanks for the best laugh of the day----a restaurant that bans non-smokers from the smoking deck.

Creative thinking at it's best... love it.
