G 1984 Gallup Monthly Report on Eating out UPOATE!-8 Vol. VII No. 10 March 16, 1984, SSWEEPING TWE' COUNTRY The Field Institute: in, San Francisco, C A recently contacted AL A about the 1983 G alliup survey' as a basis for a statewide California poll on attitudes about nonsmokers' rights. In late-February,, the findings of their poll, were released an& attitutes in California closely parallel those~ reflected in, the AL A national' survey. The California poll found that 70% of smokers and 90% of nonsmokers believe smoking is hazardous to the health. The: majority of smokers (58'x) and the overwhelming majority of nonsmokers (79%)~ believe smokers should refrain from smoking in the presence of' nonsmokers. In workplaces and restaurants, the ma3orfity of both groups want to see designated smoking and nonsmoking areas. The mayjority also wants such areas in hotels, motels, and airplanes. AA sizable minority (38X) would like all smoking banned' in airplanes. An even larger proportion (46%) favors a ban of smoking on buses and trains. f" . . RtNTAURANITS, TAK'E NOTIICE'!'

(cont'd) ., A full 30 % agreed' it was "very true"'that they did not eat out more often because they were bothered by smoke. Another 17% said it was "somiewhat true."
