    My first job as a waiter had a smoking section. Was banned just a year later but imagine being forced to work in that condition.

        I don’t think drinking slowed down one bit just because smoking was removed indoors.

          Probably not, but that is a separate thing from the proportion of drinks sold in the section being higher while it existed.

      I remember when I was a kid all the restaurants had ashtrays on the table. Even McDonalds and Burger King had little aluminum ashtrays on the tables. You could have your cheeseburgers with a side of secondhand smoke.
