It didn't change much then because you couldn't smoke in any restaurant. Most of the clientele at Kings was older and blue collar. Many of them smoked. And in a group of people, if one or two smoked, the entire group generally went to the restaurants that allowed smoking. Keep in mind, I'm not saying

It'd be useful if you could note what you're doing (i.e. reverting or whatever) in the edit summary so it makes it clearer that the work's already been done (I had assumed someone wrote a subsequent legitimate edit on top of that piece of nonsense until I realised it was a vandalism reversion).

I personally liked the substance of your edits. It was the writing style that was inappropriate. It sounded like you were speaking to an audience, and that is not how an encyclopedia should read. (for example, you used the word "you" to refer to the reader several times.) It's perfect for books, but

No need to apologize! Thanks for the reply, though. We had remarkably similar reactions I think. Naively as it turns out, I really didn't expect the proposal to be particularly controversial (apart from sourcing issues perhaps). Personally, I find some of the underlying questions regarding selection

Just to clarify... It's been seven years since I last worked there. At that time, it didn't do anything. We weren't even asked on health insurance applications if we smoked. Now it's a moot point because you can't smoke in any restaurants in
Pennsylvania other than bars that serve no or very little

Please don't apologize. I was wrong to start out with you the way I did. I was having a bad day at work and looking for somewhere to vent. As much as I like to pretend that I am rational and don't do that kind of thing, the reality is that I am just as human an anyone else. I went to that page and

Sorry, I took your reply badly, and then you in turn seem to have felt pretty much the same about my (admittedly) irritable one. I guess this about is par for the course for online forums, where one only has the words on the screen to go by to determine tone. Btw, I certainly wouldn't presume to

Most of the article is already opinion. That can't be helped and there isn't much you or anyone else can do about that. It may be informed opinion, but it is opinion nonetheless. I don't really see that as a problem, and I don't think you do either. Addressing the reader and asking rhetorical

Just a curious question. How does the fact that your restaurant allows smoking affect the health insurance rates for your employees? I know insurance usually asks if you smoke but I've never seen a question about how much second-hand smoke you're exposed to at your job or at home.

I noticed on your revision comment you mentioned that as the manager of KINGS, you opposed the allergheny county smoking ban but not statewide. Why? If you're in allergheny county both would ban smoking in KINGS I would imagine.
