Perhaps you have more data on this, SheLion?Your answers were very good, Randall. I can only speak for myself, but when it's my time and my dime, I spend it the way I want to spend it. Why would I go out to eat in a restaurant that didn't allow smoking, when I truly enjoy smoking before and after my meal with my coffee and/or beverage?
Why rush in, eat and rush out again? Heck, I can do take out and eat at home where I can relax. I used to be a good tipper too. Pity. But when Maine forced the smoking ban, that did it for me.
I use my eating out money for other causes. :)

Agreed. The best time for a cig is right after eating a meal. ESPECIALLY seafood or Italian.
GREAT! Now I'll be stuck here at work HUNGRY all day.

You don't tip for take out? There is a really good restaurant here ( non smoking) . I call order our food and give a description of my car, drive to the restaurant, they bring it out and I tip just like if I had eaten it there. It's for those nights when we are dog tired and don't feel like getting dressed to go out. Carrabba's, if you are ever in Houston don't miss it. BTW, you can smoke on the patio.
