You have non smoking sections? Here smoking is forbidden every place inside. And on balconies. If you work on floor 10, you have to go down to the groundfloor and smoke there.
When this law was applied, it was very strange. The “new” smell of pubs was unbearable, it was like sweat mixed with rotten alcohol, so I missed smoking from pubs for a while. Than everyone got used to the new thing, nd now we sit in a different kind of odour.
I live in the states and haven’t seen a smoking section of a restaurant or bar since around the turn of the century. There are ones which have smoking tables outside too close to the door, which sucks.
It’s funny watching old movies like Airplane where he was buying a plane ticket and she asked “smoking or non-smoking” and you remember that people used to smoke while trapped in an airplane.
It’s state by state in the US but there’s very few where smoking would be allowed in a restaurant left. Specifics are often down to the city level. They still allow smoking on outdoor patios in my city. There used to be provisions around tavern licenses where they could have smoking indoors in a room which had separate external ventilation but that’s really in the weeds of zoning. I think they’re trying to kill the few of these licenses remaining, too.
i’m a smoker. seeing your comment, i’d rather not to smoke at all while i’m taking a break at work lol
“It’s toasted.”
I really thought that slogan was just a bit in Mad Men. I had no idea that was based on reality.
