I wonder if the waitresses who go in there draw
hazardous duty pay.

i asked one time if they drew something extra for serving the smoking
room - turns out they do.

although they try to get wait staff that smokes to do it, they do
compensate - what i don't know - for the supposedly hazardous duty.

In the 1980's wife and I went to a really nice restaurant in Sidney, AU.
Fantastic dinner, and then they offered cigars. Tom would have like it, but
sure ruined the dinner, when others lit up.
