(15,667 posts)49. The pervasive nature of smoke makes it difficult
For cocktail waitresses and other bar workers to not put their lungs at risk. When a smoker lights up everyone around him breathes in carcinigens; in truth, before the ban, no bars would ban smoking because smoking and drinking are often twin addictions, but I do feel that smokers have adjusted to the "step outside" thing pretty well. Here in L.A. they have "smoker's lounges" and patios etc.
