A year ago my wife and I were having an evening meal at Le Piment in Orient Village and someone sitting close to me was smoking. Cystal, the owner, noticed I was struggling with the smoke. She inquired and I told her I was allergic to the smoke so she asked the person smoking to stop. He apologized to me and put out the cigarette. I don't think smokers realize their smoke affects more them themselves at times. Same not only on SXM but in all countries. It really does ruin a good meal if you have people smoking in next to you while you are eating.
