I want to know when people started get diagnosed with it.
For me it isn't so much of an allergy, but if I have been working hard all day on something, just at the point of migraine, cigarette smoke will instantly set one off for me. Not something I particularly blame cigarette smokers for. Usually means I've neglected how stressful I was.

I can't see how this supports your argument.

Personally, give you guys a room to smoke in if the owner feels like it. The problem with that is if a server does not want to come in contact with the smoke, he has a chance of loosing his job. If this happens, there will be "discrimination" against people those unwilling or unable to work in smoke. So what do you do? I have no strong opinions against smoking, and therefore I have though of no good solutions.
