| | Observational Survey of Smoking Provisions in Food Service Establishments --- Southeast Health District, Georgia, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | This report summarizes an observational survey of smoking provisions in food service establishments of Georgia's Southeast Health District in 2001, which found that although 69.4% (506) of all surveyed establishments were completely smoke free, the remaining establishments failed to provide several physical modifications designed to minimize ETS exposure. |
 | | Provisions included clear display of signs designating smoking and nonsmoking areas, nonadjacent smoking and nonsmoking sections, barriers between smoking and nonsmoking sections, separate ventilation systems for smoking and nonsmoking sections, and the exclusion of common-use areas from the smoking section. |
 | | Of the 729 inspected and surveyed establishments with indoor seating, 506 (69.4%) had a nonsmoking policy, 163 (22.3%) accommodated both smoking and nonsmoking patrons with separate sections, and 61 (8.4%) accommodated both smoking and nonsmoking patrons but did not have separate smoking and nonsmoking sections (Table 1). |
