Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s.

Non smoking section with like an 18 inch wall separating it from the smoking section. My mom almost got into a fistfight at a couple of restaurants for seating us directly next to the smoking section instead of in the opposite corner.

And it was usually next to the kitchen and the restrooms. Worst tables all around.

In most restaurants I saw there was no wall in between.

  This was my experience as well. I can still see it today in some older restaurants that haven’t been renovated in years, where there’s an area of the dining room with a much higher ceiling.

    I have never heard of this. And I’m a smoker and I was alive back then. (Though I was a kid.)
    
    Does the higher ceiling go to the smoking section or the non-smoking section?
