No cigars, pipes, or clove cigarettes

Adrian, that is common place to have that kind of double standard in several chain restaurants , including Chili's and Hooters. I don't agree with it and tend to avoid those places since it is a form of discrimination IMHO. Their reasoning is that cigarettes are more socially acceptable than cigars or pipes, which leave a heavier scent in the air. As I said, I don't agree with their reasoning and vote with wallet by not going there if at all possible.

I was in a restaurant/bar with a friend and the only place I could smoke my cigar was at the bar. The reason was because the ventilation system in the restaurant was insufficient to remove the smoke away from the other patrons. But it was around the bar.
