Restaurant
owners feeling
economic loss
of smokers
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Restaurant patrons who can’t
light up while sipping after-din
ner coffee will stay home and
hold back billions of dollars,
restaurant owners said Monday.
“Home cooking is still our
major competition,” Los Angeles
restaurateur Biff Naylor said in
an interview before testifying at
Labor Department hearing.
“Those people will go home.”
Labor Department officials
said the restaurant industry
was overreacting to proposed
regulations that would virtually
ban smoking in 6 million places
where people work.
‘In communities where there
have been restrictions, the indus
try, in fact, does quite well,” said
Mike Silverstein, director of poli
cy for the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration.
OSHA resumed protracted
hearings Monday on its pro
posed indoor air quality stan
dards. New rules would affect a
number of issues related to the
quality of the air workers
breathe at their job sites.
The most emotion generated
by the proposal has been a plan
to seriously restrict smoking in
schools, factories, office build
ings, restaurants, bars and oth
er work places. The proposal
would require employers to pro
vide separately ventilated
rooms for smokers or ban smok
ing altogether.
“I’ve suffered all my life be
cause of a reaction to cigarette
smoke,” said John O’Hare, a
government scientist who cru
saded for smoking restrictions
at his office and in stores and
restaurants in Prince Georges
County, Md.
The National Restaurant As
sociation said the proposal would
mean reduced sales and fewer
jobs for an industry that already
exists on slim profit margins.
The industry said it stood to
lose as much as $18.2 billion a
Jear, 6.5 percent of estimated
food service sales for this year,
based on a survey taken in May.
Naylor said table service restau
rants would suffer most because
of fewer visits and dramatically
shorter stays, which in turn
would result in fewer drink pur
chases drinks before dinner, wine
with meals, coffee and other af
ter-dinner drinks and dessert.

those who have little or no inter
est, the margin for the Republi
cans grows by about 6 percent.”
Polls suggest an extraordi
nary number of close races.
Gary Jacobson of the University
of California at San Diego, au
thor of the standard college text
book on congressional elections,
is reminded of 1980, when a
careful redistribution of 50,000
votes out of 80 million cast
would have given the Democrats
the Senate.
Instead, it went Republican,
53-47.
To control the new Congress,
Republicans would have to take
over seven Democratic seats in
the Senate and 40 in the House.
Normally, the party of a first-
term president experiences a loss
of 19 House seats and no Senate
seats in midterm elections.
“The trend is away from the
Democrats,” said Charles Cook,
publisher of a nonpartisan polit
ical newsletter.
Cook said he was “reasonably
sure” the Senate will wind up in
Republican hands.
Another newsletter publisher,
Stuart Rothenberg, expects Re
publican gains of 30 to 35 in the
House, five to seven in the Senate.
“If I had to put money on it,
I’d say the Democrats will hold
on, but in a way that will make
governance very difficult, and
it’s already hard,” added a
fourth independent observer,
Catherine Rudder, executive di
rector of the American Political
Science Association.
Jacobson is predicting a Re
publican pickup of four Senate
seats, but says it could go as
high as 11. He sees Republican
House gains “in the mid-20s” —
lower than a number of other
observers.
Much can happen in the
hext fortnight. Many Democra
tic candidates are well-financed
and experienced enough to
avoid the late missteps that
can bedevil a campaign under
high-noon pressure.
