text: I'm in agrement.  I'm a non-smoker, and I think that if the restaraunt wants to, they should inform everyone that it's a smoking establishment, and let it be.  \n\nThere are other alternatives as well, for instance, a permit system that allows establishments to have a smoking bar/restaurant.  The local authorities could manage the number of places that allow smoking, and if demand increases, they could release more permits.  \n\nThese places should still allow a seperate section for non-smokers, completely seperate, or not.  It would just depend on the market. \n\nBut either way, I'm all for as little governemen interference as possible, allowing the market to set the demands.
