ON reading your restaurant review of the LA Cafe (Sunday Morning Post, January 10), I was greatly encouraged to note that you included details of the restaurant's smoking policy. I hope you will continue to publish such information in future reviews.

Since 85 per cent of people in Hongkong are non-smokers, this performs a double service: to patrons who can choose to avoid those establishments where there is no segregation of smokers and non-smokers; and to the segregated restaurants that may now be assured of more regular patronage by a large number of non-smokers.
