that's really weird. What part of town do you live in? I have a daughter too and have taken her out frequently, and while I do occasionally run into smokers, I'd say its really rare these days. In fact I can only recall being in a restaurant with smokers in it maybe 10 times max in the last year (I remember because I hate this, and will always ask the management to intervene). I probably go out to eat maybe 4 times a week, so that's a really low rate -- even if it were 10 times a year, I'm eating out 200 times a year, making the smoking rate about 5%.
