Guide to Smokefree Dining in NJ

[rozrapp]

The latest annual guide, 100% Smokefree Dining in New Jersey, published by NJ GASP (Group Against Smoking Pollution) is now available. There are no reviews. Listings by county and town include addresses, phone numbers, web sites, and indication if there is a liquor license. You can obtain a free copy via GASP's web site.

Cynic that you appear to be, what makes you think there's anything in it for them, other than, as a non-profit organization, providing a public service?

well, you see, from where i'm sitting, they could have easily posted it on their website, rather than wanting you to call so they could "chat".

edit: i stand corrected. you can search for the restaurants on their website here. in fact, the inclusion of websites makes this a very nice resource.

right - seems like you either have to give them an address (mailing list), email address (spam) or a contact by phone (with the rather ominous sounding "little chat" included).

Tommy, I'm glad you corrected yourself.

I want to make it clear that GASP looks to achieve its goals via the legislative route. If one wants to join, there is a very reasonable membership fee, and they rarely ask members for any additional donations.

If you don't want to join, but only want the guide, or any of the other materials they provide to restaurants and the public, you can tell them that you do not want to be placed on their mailing list. They will never "spam" you. And, as for asking for your phone number when you e-mail your order, that's strictly in case they have a question about the order and not to chat you up.

I heard that PETA is putting out a guide on fur free restaurants. Will provide the details when they surface.
