Reply #19: I agree -- restaurants should be able to decide to allow smoking. [View All]

I'm a non-smoker, and hate the smell of the stuff, and personally would never go into a restaurant that allowed it. But sheesh -- it DOES happen to be legal. As long as people can choose to avoid it I think we should lay off the rampant banning.

New York state, where I live, banned smoking from restaurants. I can now frequent restaurants that I wouldnt' before. But I don't know... I still don't feel right denying smokers that pleasure. Pleasures are hard to come by these days.
