Restaurant Bans Outdoor Smoking

"I kind of like it. I think it's a lot healthier for people that don't smoke," said Latsha.

There is no smoking allowed inside the restaurant and now, outside on the picnic tables you won't be able to smoke there either. The owner said he wanted a healthier environment for his customers. He surveyed them and most agreed with the no smoking policy.

"It's a very family-oriented atmosphere out here. We pride ourselves on that. Times have changed and we figure the amount of time you spend dinning here, it's really not that much of an inconvenience," said Matthew Rabb of The Fence Restaurant.

Each picnic table is clearly marked with the no smoking policy, but if you order and eat in your car you can still smoke in there.

Some people who were asked said they think the new outside smoking policy is a positive thing.

"Good. Keep the butts off the grass," said Preston Pardoe of Hughesville.

"I think it's a good idea because even out here the wind blows it to the next table when there is smoking," agreed Mary Pardoe.

Not everyone likes the change.

"Not happy. That's taking away one of my rights. Yeah, we won't be eating here anymore. I enjoy the food but I won't be eating here anymore," said Gina McMichael of Richfield.
