Is there such thing as clean air? What other airborne particles do you inhale? Is there a dividing line in second hand smoke? How I dealt with the smoking issue at a restaurant.

Once a week my best friend and I enjoy getting together.

Ever since the days of high school my friend Jackie and I were inseparable. We did everything together. We made a pact, before graduating, that no matter what, we would keep in touch.

That was 35 years ago and we still share our lives together.

One of the things we both enjoy doing is eating out.

After spending the entire week with our families cooking and packing lunches every day, eating out with my best friend is something we both look forward to doing.

So we make our plan during the week and settle on a time and place to have a delicious meal at a restaurant. We generally pick a restaurant that we have never been to. We love to do this because it frees us up from family, allows us to chat and gossip, and just enjoy a great meal, without ever having to think about dishes and the clean up.

It was a bright and sunny Sunday.

I picked up Jackie at her house and we headed out to the restaurant across town. On the way, I discovered I was out of cigarettes and made a quick stop to buy more.

We finally arrived at our destination, relieved to get off the busy highway. The restaurant was located in a wooded area in the rural section of town.

Manning our purses and my cigarettes, we were eager to get inside and enjoy our anticipated meal.

"Smoking, or non-smoking?"
This question was posed to us by the eager young, smiling hostess at the charming restaurant we found ourselves in.

"Smoking," we both replied, smiling back.

We were then told that as of June 1st, smoking was only allowed at the bar, and that we could eat at our table, but would have to smoke at the bar.

As we looked at one another, with mouths opened, we asked the hostess to repeat what she had just said, trying not to sound defensive, as we continued to be in denial.

The hostess repeated the much rehearsed reply again.

Then I said, "like there is a dividing line in the air for second-hand smoke?"

Hopping up on a bar stool to have a cigarette was out of the question. "Not with my bad back," I thought. I had trouble getting on my pantyhose this morning, not to mention the difficulty I have just getting out of a parked car.

The issue of clean air is bordering on the ridiculous!

Clean air just doesn't exist, not even in a smoke-free environment. The list of pollutants is long.

When you think about it, possibly the most important source of air pollution and floating carcinogens in restaurants is cooking. Cooking fat, as it decomposes, releases gases into the air that lodge in our lungs.

Other dangers that lurk in restaurant air are candles, romantically burning on the tables, while patrons breathe airborne soot particles.

What did we want to do, the hostess asked?

The decision was simple. "Leave," we replied, as we both walked out into the "clean air."
