Provide smokers and non-smokers alike the right to enjoy themselves and leave the responsibility to the restaurant to make the decision as to how to do it. The restaurant can say, we are a non-smoking establishment or they can implement proper smoke control strategies to ensure everyone's happiness. Signed, -A non-smoker

The longer we allow the rest of the nation to associate us with tobacco, the longer we are held back from being known as a great city.

By the way, it is a SMOKE FREE restaurant so all the links to unrelated smoking articles is beyond silly.

And the next thing we should do is outlaw drinking in bars! And short skirts!! And flip flops!! No more cheese whizz!! And name every bar the same thing so there's nothing to like about anyone over the other!! That's the ticket!! Where do you guys come from? Get over yourself. You're reading way to much into a good idea. Amra's is one of our best bars with live music almost every night of the week. The outside patio is always open and air flows in and out easily. In most cities that have made laws governing smoking in bars they are disregarded and not followed; they are called dummy laws - made be dummies and server no purpose...

Gianni, food is average at best (not my grandmothers Italian - does not even taste authentic). Why waste the space with 518 around the corner.

I refuse to give any repeat business to bars that allow it. Every bar and every restaurant should be completely non-smoking. Not only would it be healthier for all concerned, but, as more and more studies prove, their business would increase. I just hope it happens in my lifetime. I'll be checking out Brooklyn Heights as soon as I'm back in the country.

Tobacco Road Sports Cafe is an awful name that conjures up stereotypical visions of dumb rednecks. Why not something more modern and suitable like Bible Belt Sports Cafe! Give it a rest! Tobacco is part of our history and what enabled this great State to be what it is today. If it wasn't for tobacco there wouldn't have been the funds available to build roads, the NC State University System or Research Triangle Park. Maybe Detroit should be better known as the Eminem City and Pittsburgh as the Plate Glass and Alumimum center of the world.

As much as I like American Tobacco Complex, I sometimes wish it had a different name. At least the nearby "Brightleaf Square" uses a much more vague, lesser-used term for the poisonous plant. But I'm not surprised. Amra's is already known by many of us nonsmokers as "that cigar bar on Glenwood south...cough cough". Meanwhile, I hear that new place up the street, Brooklyn Heights Bar, is nonsmoking. So I can't wait to try it.

Nor do I think that referencing the area as "Tobacco Road" when talking about sports makes the region look dumb and unhealthy. I don't know many people that hear the moniker, "Tobacco Road," and think of chaw spitting or carcinogens, anymore than people hear "New England" and think of young patriots thumbing their noses at King George.

I don't think that we should disassociate ourselves from our history. Duke University would not be here if it were not for tobacco production in North Carolina. Of course, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to improve our image and educate the residents of North Carolina on health issues such as the harmful effects of smoking. I just don't think that we need to ignore our history by removing references to it from the North Carolina landscape. Durham has been able to do both successfully--look at the American Tobacco Complex in downtown Durham, where the Lucky Strike tower still stands. It boasts a performing arts center, WUNC Radio and many businesses, including pharmaceutical, tech and non-profit companies.
