昼食のために会社近くの地下飲食街に行きました。どの店も混んでいましたが、たまたますいている店が目につき飛びこみました。見渡すと店内が煙草の煙で煙っています。店前に「全面禁煙」の掲示があったはず、と思って再度見たらなんと「全席喫煙」。 煙草は好きではないのですが、他の店を探す時間もなかったので食事しました。 禁煙の店は年々増えていますが、逆に全面的に喫煙を打ち出した店を見るのは初めてです。驚きました。（１２月７日）
I was looking for somewhere to take a lunch in the underground food court near my office.
Every restaurant I walked by seemed crowded, but I happened to find one that was less crowded so I dashed in there.
Looking around, I saw a lot of cigarette smoke wafting throughout the room.
I took a second look at the signboard at the entrance, thinking to myself that it said “ALL NON SMOKING SEATS”.
Actually it was opposite – “ALL SMOKING SEATS”! My jaw almost dropped,
I didn’t want to inhale smoke while eating my lunch, but I took the table because I didn’t have enough time to find another restaurant.
Non smoking places are on the increase year by year. And it was my first time to see a restaurant where smoking is totally allowed.
