This is what i'm saying Michael.
That it SHOULD be acceptable for somebody who is possession of all the facts to be able to sign a waver declaring that they are aware of the risks, the risks are there own, and they agree that their employer is not at liberty to take any blame for any illness that should come about through passive smoking.
Would you rather be given the option of taking responsibility for yourself, or losing your job?

Again Deb, no disagreement from me here.
Yes, you should have the option of going to eat at a non smoking restaurant.
But restaurants should also have the right to decide if they are going to be smoking, non smoking, or have areas that cater for both.
