I share your pain. Once while being seated at a family type restaurant, I was asked, "smoking or non-smoking?" I replied that I didn't care, however, just don't seat me anywhere near any children, as I enjoy eating my meal in peace. Man, you should have seen the scornful eyes of several of the motherly types standing nearby. Worked like a charm though. These days, I only go to restaurants that accept reservations and are moderate to expensive in cost. For maybe $20-30 more in cost, I completely avoid the whole issue. Well worth the peace of mind.
