What is the proper etiquette for smokers non-smokers dining out together?
Recently, eight of us decided to eat out. It was one’s birthday, and the others were treating him to a party. The restaurant did not take reservations.
As we entered the restaurant we were asked if we wanted to sit in the smoking or non-smoking section. I said, “Non-smoking,” but was quickly and loudly corrected by one of the smokers. There were three smokers and five non-smokers in our party. The three smokers chain-smoked during the entire meal.
