This is not true.  If the sections are set up properly, very little
smoke (if any) will get across.  The typical way this is accomplished
is through one of:

- Put some large obstacle (like a planter or a partition) between the
  sections.
- Put the sections in different rooms.
- Put an air filtering machine between the sections.  (I know of a
  diner in NJ that does this, and it works well - three feet on the
  other side of the machine, and you can't smell a thing.)
