See, the reason I'm asking, is because there are a lot of people that smoke, but, because of people breathing in 2nd hand smoke, smokers at a lot of places(restaurants), aren't allowed to smoke inside..so, if they want to let dogs in, then they should allow smoker to continue smoking in restaurants..A lot of towns here are going to "smoke free"...something else to think about..

smoking is very different. Lung Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the US and it's all because of smoking...those that smoke and those exposed to second hand smoke. Lung cancer is deadly...allergies usually are not. I've had two grandparents die of lung cancer and one that was recently diagnosed so I know how serious it can be. Allergies is NOT serious (unless someone has SEVERE allergies). So huge difference in cigarettes being banned and allowing dogs to be in a restaurant. It's not okay to kill someone else because you're addicted to a drug...
