If you don't like a particular restaurant's seating, take your business elsewhere--problem solved.

No, I'm not a smoker, BTW.

That sounds like a reasonable suggestion, but we travel a lot, & don't always have that option. The restaurants that I frequent while at home are non smoking. If I try a new one & I am not satisfied, I tell the management right then because it means that management is trying to have it both ways.
