said that his firm had one lounge but that it had fans to blow smoke out.
"If we had to provide separate areas for smokers and nonsmokers, we would probably have to build something." Terry said.
Jane Ross, assistant manager at K mart, 3106 Iowa St., said her store also provided only one lounge.
"We would require some constructi-
tion to provide separate areas." Ross said.
She said some employees had complained about having to share a lounge with smokers.

Longhurst said he was concerned that an employee would use the smoking ordinance to cause trouble for his employer.

"I just don't want it to be a club someone uses to hurt someone else," Longhurst said.
several holes that carry a message to the computer depending on where the holes are positioned on the card.
Another provision of the proposed ordinance would require a bowling alley to be equipped with a ball machine.
"It's one of our worst systems around here," he said. "We're having problems with the machines in that it's difficult to maintain parts for
Dan Wilson, assistant manager of Royal Crest Lanes, in the Hillcrest Shopping Center, Ninth and Iowa streets, said he had never been asked to provide a smoke-free lane.
International Business Machines Corp. no longer makes or repairs the machines the University now uses to produce or read the fee cards.
The proposal will change the time when fees are due because of the payment installments. This contradicts current Regents policy, which states
a student must pay the full tuition before attending classes, he said.
Before allowing the change for KU, the Regents would have to change the policy for all the Regents schools, said John Patterson, University comptroller.
"The University view this as a positive step forward," he said. "We recognize that the cost of tuition keeps going up and we want to do everything we can to allow payment for the student easier."
Thompson said part of the proposal called for the student's tuition statement to include tuition fee.

The Soviets, he said, would like to overrun both Iran and Afghanistan's other neighbor, Pakistan.
Reagan, drawing a parallel to the secret opening to China undertaken by President Nixon in 1971, acknowledged bitter and enduring disagreements between the United States and Iran. But he called the Islamic revolution that ousted the deceased Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and put Ayatollah Ruhulhoff Khominii in power "a fact of history."
During the speech, which ran about 13 minutes, Reagan twice listed the four goals of his covert program, now said to be in jeopardy because of its exposure. The program included a renewed, stable relationship with Iran, an honorable end to the bitter Iran-Iraq war, an end to terrorism and the release of hostages in Lebanon.
He insisted that the aid to Iran — amounting, he said, to less than one cargo planeland — did not represent a tilt toward Tehran in its bloody, often brutal, war with Baghdad. But rather, he said, it was an effort to gain some degree of access and influence within Iran to help end the war.
Program helps smokers quit
Around 1900, the American Cancer Society sponsored a campaign that urged people to smoke.
By COLLEEN SIEBES
Now, of course, society is trying to get people to stop smoking.
At the time, the society didn't want people to chew tobacco because it thought chewing tobacco caused the tuberculosis that killed hundreds of Americans. Society viewed smoking as a healthier alternative.
In recognition of the Great American Smokeout on Thursday, Watkins Hospital is sponsoring FreshStart, a program founded by the American Cancer Society on how to quit smoking. The program consists of two, two-hour sessions.
"Two out of 10 smokers die from emphysema," said Dr. Charles Yockey of health services. "Until
smoking is totally unacceptable, people will keep smoking."
During the first half hour of last night's meeting at Watkins, nine participants sat calmly and listened to Yockey discuss the risks of smoking and the benefits of quitting.
In the next half hour, the noise level rose slightly as people began to fidget in their seats, tap fingernails on the table in front of them and fold hands under their laps.
By the close of the first hour, most of the nine were furiously chewing gum or on straws.
According to recent American Cancer Society statistics, cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 120,000 heart disease deaths annually. Smoking also increases the risk of death from chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema between 4 and 25 percent.
The risk of heart disease sharply decreases after one year. After 10 years, the ex-smoker's risk is the same as that of a person who has never smoked.
Yockey said the most effective way to quit smoking was cold turkey. Tapering off smoking only perpetuates the habit, he said.
One by one, participants told the class how long they had been smoking, how many cigarettes a day they smoked and their reasons for wishing to quit. Motives were varied, but health risks were the number one incentive for quitting.
Janine Demo, a Watkins health educator, said the senses of smell and taste become more acute when a person quits. She also said lung cancer was virtually unknown in non-smokers.
Soft drink war heads for court
United Press International
DUBLIN, Ohio — The chairman of Wendy's International Inc. said yesterday that PepsiCo Inc. was trying to trick the public into thinking it was only suing Coca-Cola Co., when its suit also names Wendy's and a Wendy's subsidiary restaurant chain.
But Wendy's president, Robert L. Barney, said Wendy's had filed a suit against Pepsi on Wednesday morning in federal court in Columbus before Pepsi's suit was filed.
He said Wendy's sut says that Pepsi violated a contract for soft drink services to company-owned Wendy's restaurants when it purchased Kentucky Fried Chicken Inc. for $800 million, making PepsiCo. the largest fast food chain owner. The company also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
Pepsi said Wednesday that it was suing Coke for violating a contract with Wendy's.
