Involuntary smoking in Savannah's restaurants

A survey of Savannah area restaurants was conducted to determine the frequency with which nonsmoking sections are provided. Only one in five restaurants in Savannah provide nonsmoking sections, and only one in 10 tables available for dining out are reserved for nonsmokers. Restaurants associated with a national corporation are more than four times as likely to reserve space for nonsmokers than those strictly locally owned. Pertinent attitudes of restaurant personnel are presented, as is a brief discussion of the issue of involuntary smoking.
