Healthy Central Florida Smoke Free Restaurant Dining Survey - Winter Park

- Identify: Intern with Healthy Central Florida, a community-based partnership, founded by Florida Hospital and the Winter Park

Health Foundation. (For questions/concerns, Jill Hamilton Buss [exec. director] at 407-644-2300 ext. 238)

- We’re compiling a listing for our website, and potentially for our media partners, of restaurants in the area that offer fully smoke

free outdoor dining.

I’d like to ask you a few questions. Depending on your answers, on average, this should only take 3 - 7 minutes.

1. Do you offer outdoor dining? If no, thank them for their time and end call.

2. IF YES:

3. Do you allow smoking on your patio? Yes. No.

IF NO (DON’T allow smoking): What led you to make that decision?

- What steps did you take to enact that decision?

- Did you encounter much push back from customers?

- How long had your restaurant been smoke free outdoors?

- Tell them that we appreciate them promoting health in our community and we look forward to promoting them. We will

include them in our listing and thank them for promoting good health in our communities.

IF YES (DO allow smoking): Do you offer smoke free dining options? Please describe (out of how many total tables, how many are

smoke free?)

- Have you ever considered offering completely smoke free outdoor dining for their customers? If yes/no, why?

Once again, thank you for your time. I’ll leave you with this interesting fact – only 11% of Winter Park residents smoke so we

work to make Winter Park one of the healthiest communities in the nation, we appreciate all that you can do to help us achieve

that. If you have any questions, please contact Jill Hamilton Buss or to learn more, visit our website at

healthycentralflorida.org. Thank you.
