Do you or anyone know what the stats on for a place to allow smoking and non smoking? What is the size of the room for smoking, etc.

That's the wrong question, SheLion. You want to know the "standard" for air exchange in a smoking-permitted area, right? Unless such a standard is specifically written into a municipal code or legislation, there isn't one. Remember, the antis say sonorously "there is no safe level of shs." Now there WAS a study of how well-ventilated smoking-permitted restaurants compared with smoker-hostile restaurants in the same mall, and to the consternation of the antis, the smoker-friendly places had cleaner air. I'll find that one for you, even though it isn't exactly what you're looking for.

Sorry, can't help you there, in Ottawa the ban is total, they are going so far as to go smoke free on patio's as well.

I am however hoping that a giant size backlash is in the works.
