Smoking in DIA
I would like to respond to the content of your article about the Mesa Verde Restaurant at DIA. It one of four restaurants in DIA that allow smoking. The people who suffer most from the smoking at DIA are the employees (waitresses, waiters, hosts, hostesses, managers, cleaning staff, etc.). No one deserves to breathe polluted air from smoke as a condition of employment. Breathing is not a choice, no matter where a person works.
