Won't eat again in restaurants that encourage Ozzie/Jap/Eurotrash smokers (OK; that's a little strong... but look at the stuff coming in and out their lungs, into my face) by setting up ‘cigar lounges' or flogging the things along with food. Sanur Beach Hotel has a fantastic beachside restaurant that it upgraded to luxury level, but at same time alienated many who insist of fresh air with their food.
For an industry that pretends it want to be entrepreneurial, Balinese tourism fails to recognize that refuges for non-smokers would be packed with paying customers. Maybe they aren't hurting enough yet!
Oh, and please don't ‘flame' me over this... I'm over and out with people who insist on thieving my right to healthy living. Has something to do with sensitivities re lung cancer and family members!
