There's a time and place for everything. As a former smoker I have never liked smoking at a resturant. It really is a nasty thing and if your out to eat you should not have to deal with it. Austin has-Corpus needs to keep in step with the rest of the world. Dining out should be a pleasurable experience unclouded by smoke.
Smoking is a public nuisance that causes health problems in many people.
Corpus Christi would be a cleaner, better city without smoking in restaurants. Smoking sections do not help solve the problem either. The smoke still enters the non-smoking areas. It's nasty the world is having enough problems as it is why make it worse. For those of us who have allergies, it's almost unbearable.
