Starbucks Dante Coffee shop (mostly non-smoking, with the smoking part glassed off) Plaza 66 claims to be non-smoking (but they seem to let people smoke in the restaurants which kind of defeats the purpose) |

| Great idea! Lets keep this topic alive, by listing our findings, so that it doesn't get buried. Here are mine:
Hagendaz Ice Cream - went to the one in Shanghai West Gate Mall (MeiLongZheng) but other branches probably also nonsmoking. Yong He King - by Mei Luo Cheng plaza in XuJiaHui. Did not notice anyone smoking there and no ashtray on the table. Local food. Gino's Cafe - have nonsmoking section but is not physically divided. It's next to the Frienship Store in Hong Qiao New Development Area. Decent Italian food. |

The deep end of swimming pool at JC Mandarin on Nanjing Xi Lu is good. |

| Aren't 70% of the restaurants in Shanghai nowadays have the smoking/non-smoking sections? Went to this cantonese cuisine in Infinity mall on Huai Hai lu and also Chamate 一茶一坐 in Xin Tian Di, they both got non-smoking section. |

Not a chance when I've seen a doctor smoking a cigarette in his heavily stained overcoat right under a no smoking sign in his examination room. Seriously, I doubt the gov't will impose any ban if its going to upset the mass. I think there were some mass prοtest here in China when the gov't tried to limit the sales of cigarettes some time around the turn of the century. At least I think I read that somewhere. |

Well, I understand the frustation of dining out when you are seated next to chain smoker... definetely ruin the whole dining experience. Most western restaurant in Shanghai however divide their area into smoking and non-smoking area, just like mine, Sydney Restaurant. The good news for all pro-non-smoking and family: Our Saturday and Sunday brunches are SMOKE FREE! |
