There's a question below asking about smoking, in which an ABer says there's no demand for non-smoking restaurants. Please will everyone give their view on whether they would like a ban on smoking in enclosed public places, particularly in restaurants?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I went out with a friend of mine last week, and had to take a shower and wash my clothes before I went to bed as I was smelling so badly of smoke, now she's asked me to go again next week and even though I enjoyed myself, I just don't fancy having to do that every time I go out. So I would vote to ban it in all public places. Have you ever spoken to someone face to face after they've just had a cigarette? - disgusting!!
Hi Gef,
16 out of 18 people who have replied to my question have expressed a preference for a ban on smoking in public places, particularly restaurants. I'm sorry if you don't like it but that's the majority view. For you to say that there's no demand for non-smoking restaurants is therefore patently absurd.
By the way, this is the one and only question I have ever asked on Answer Bank, so references to me setting up 'yet another thread' and referring to your answer to 'my last thread' are incorrect.
I apologise,though, for calling you self-delusional.
Actually sasha13, From the evidence in Ireland after their ban on smoking in pubs, takings suffered an initial drop but quickly rose to levels higher than before! as non smokers began to visit pubs more often.
The profit margin on food and level of extra trade it developes, no landlord in his right mind would stop serving food.
Another vote for non smoking restaurants.
Even when there's smoking tables, in some places, the reality is that the difference between "smoking" and "non-smoking" areas amounts to a couple of feet ! .... and of course, smoke can drift a lot further than that.
I not only hate the smell, it makes me feel quite sick too .....
