It may not qualify as a restaurant, but its smoky enough.
~stacey #7
I thought Austin still had that no-smoking rule in restaurants.
~terry #8
Doesn't seem to be in effect at Rutas, they have a big cigarette/cigar store on the premises.
~stacey #9
oh. Boulder, CO is completely smoke-free. Only outside, if you can stand the public heat, can you smoke.
~autumn #10
All Maryland restaurants are smoke free (but not bars).
~stacey #11
So restaurants with full bars are exempt?
~autumn #12
So long as either the bar or the designated smoking area of the adjacent restaurant is completely cut off from the rest of the restaurant. We're talking about a glass wall in most cases, not some cheesy partition. Not one iota of smoke can penetrate the main dining area. (But I can still look thru the glass and get a vicarious thrill!)

LOL! Can't really comprehend the attraction to smoking but if the withdrawl is anything analogous to forsaking caffeine... I'm with ya!

Locally, it's Ruta Maya, but that's really a coffee house.
~terry #15
And there's this place down on Lamar across from Whole Foods, 'has to be the smokiest place in town, even the cooks and wait people smoke on the job. I avoid the place since my one smoke filled visit there.

Louisville is considering banning smoking in public places. My friend smokes which would mean we would never go anywhere. I wonder what smokers are supposed to do... No, I do not smoke. Never have, for that matter. NOTHING (which seems to amaze some people.)

They passed a blanket smoking ban in Austin!
