Smoke Free Dining is Just Good Taste

If you're like most Lowcountry residents, you'll agree smoke free dining just tastes better. Not only are smoke free eating establishments healthier for you and your family, but they're easier on your clothes, hair and skin and allow your taste buds to savor all the delicious flavors you've come to expect when you're enjoying a meal out on the town.

According to the EPA, a nonsmoking section is not enough. While exhaust systems installed in many restaurants' nonsmoking sections remove the smoky haze and odor, the systems do nothing to remove the 4,000+ toxic chemicals that have been identified in environmental tobacco smoke.

Restaurants are beginning to listen to their nonsmoking guests who are tired of avoiding particular establishments becuase of an asthmatic child, new baby or eldery parents with breathing problems. Even adults in perfectly good health can suffer the consequences of spending two hours breathing in secondhand smoke. Low levels of exposure can result in temporary infertility (both in men and women), blood clots, tooth decay, breathing problems and a host of other conditions.
