The real problem rests with our legal community, and based upon the predictability of their actions, smoking in bars and restaurants will probably be banned everywhere sometime in the very foreseeable future. A recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that California's waitresses die from higher rates of lung and heart disease than any other female occupational group. They have four times the expected lung cancer mortality and 2-1/2 times the expected heart disease mortality rate. According to the study, this increased death rate is directly attributable to having to work day after day in smoke-filled rooms.

The idea that second hand smoke from your job could kill you is a scary thought. It is totally not worth it to have smoking in restaurants.
