the only support I have for the no smoking rule is NOT for the benefit of customers but the employees, even if 99% of food service workers seem to smoke like chimneys.
However, I have been in cigar bars where their exahust systems are so good you could not tell the person sitting 2ft from you was firing up a big fat stoggie, even the more "earthy" cigars...and in the cigar world "earthy" means "tastes like dirt the tobacco was grown in"...yum...but not for me.
And when eating, even though I don't smoke, I was never bothered...ever...people with hyper-vigalance disorders as well as genuine asthma OTOH derserve the respect to honor any request to discontinue smoking if it's requested as I don't feel it is right to cause such harm to other people. And lemme tell you, when asked to put out a $30 cigar, hell even a cheap $5 cigar, is a hard thing to do because cigars taste like crap on relights and allowed to cool down inbetween sessions...might as well just throw it away because the taste is ruined.
