    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 with less secondhand smoke.

        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?
