So said Fted Sampson, president oi the New York State Restaurant Association last year. Too bad he wasn't with us the day we aouldn't taste our stubi, for the cigarettes to the left and right: Or the taigbt' we altipped dessert because the people at the next table were puffing what must have been a pack apiecee over their dernitasses. At times likke ttiat we say "Oh, to be in Nassau County now that the air ls there." 22oat'S because Nassau's stringent newr smoking regulations ro- quirerestauratnts to ptovide noasmokdag srctiaas or to Install highly effective but costly air-cleaning de, v6xs. What Nassau. rez)ttires, however. New York City only hints at. Last June, Mayor Koch asked the city's 14,000 restaurants to reserve 25 perceat' of their seats'for nonsmokers: The Health Department followed up with a letter. Be so ltind. it said, as to fill out the en- closed form u tell us how many seats you're plan - tting to set aside. Fewer than 1,000 even picked up their pens; only 900' were planning, to t>eed the Mayor's modest proposal. Askiisg,restaurants voluntarily to'ereate a non., smolting,secctioa, then, is about as effective as ask-, fng people not to parit on the street. It'S the threat of' a fine, aot the call to honor, tbat works. A bill beforee the City Counciliwould require nonsmoking secticas. ia restauraats seating 80 or, mmm; but without re- quiring fixed proportions or partitioas. Courtesy haviag',failed; it'stime to try clout. 0-4' TFYE NEW YOflT{ TIMES. TUE:
