ah, we haven't had a smoking/no smoking thread in a while.......
1) if you don't like the smell of smoke, don't go to places that allow it
2) people who work at smoking clubs: if you don't smoke, work somewhere else
3) Smoking outside. Some wingnut in the last smoking thread had the audacity to complain about the buts outside on the street. When there were smoking rooms allowed, all those butts were inside in ashtrays. Force everyone to smoke in the same spot, and you'll get a large amount of butts.
4) last I heard this was a "free" country. An owner should be allowed to make a determination on his customers. If one wants to open a smoking club, then he should be allowed to. Just like Salt Lake City where alcohol is banned, you have to "join" a members only club in order to drink. The membership fee is basically a cover charge.
I see ZERO problem with a) having clubs that are smoke free and b) having clubs that aren't. Just like there are dance clubs with male and female washrooms, and unisex. Clubs that have naked women on stage, clubs that don't. Clubs that only serve wine, clubs that serve anything. Restaurants that specialize in steak, some that specialize in pasta. Freedom of choice.
I wonder how you'll all feel when they ban fried foods? Hamburger? Alcohol? Believe me, it isn't far away. I read in the paper not long ago how they're thinking of surcharges for fast food joints....sound familiar? They brought about surcharges on cigs back in the day to get people to quit......
As for sp's who smoke, you should see their faces light up when I tell them they can. I tell you there's nothing like the first smoke after a good romp in the sack and I know the ones who smoke appreciate it......
