This is bittersweet being a musician. I hate having the headaches, smelling like a$$ and the other cons of a smoke filled bar...But you WILL lose a crowd to no smoking...At least somewhat. Luna Live does well with the rule, and the bar tends to stay full through a show. I am interested to see where this goes. Would not mind losing that smell from a night out!

Yeah i can see where it MAY hurt the crowds.. but if everywhere is forced to do it it may not. Other places like Baton Rouge, Houston dont allow smoking in bars or clubs

You are right...The crowd around this town tends to be thin anyhow...Especially when it comes to supporting local music that is not a cover band

[BassYakR]

Where do u play? and what kinda music? I used to always go out and support local bands at luna, AJs, Rikenjacks

[Duffy.yyz]

Luna Live, My Place, Linda's Lounge, Isle of Capri, Mary's Lounge....anywhere!

[Duffy.yyz]

Multiple bands....in liquid is the band I play with most. Sit in with CHOKE, Slim Harper, X-IT43, Trip Wamsley... All VERY different genres.

If you don't like smoking or smoke stay home!!! People smoke when they drink,gamble!! And spend more money cause they don't have to get up from a table game, or from the bar.
As a smoker I am polite about it, move or go outside. But at a hot table or a bar your on your own!!!!

There's way more crapp in the air in any "big city" to worry about smoking !!!!

And that includes politicians!!!

I think it should be left up to the business owner. If the owner thinks allowing smoking in his establishment will help his income, he oughtta be able to allow it. If he thinks allowing smoking hurts his business he oughtta be able to ban it.

[BassYakR]

Ban that ****! I love to play pool but i dont go anymore bc of how horrible the smoke is in the bars around here.

People shouldn't smoke anyway. It's bad for your health. Desperately hope this happens!

Because people at bars are there for their health?

I'm not a doctor, although I went to school long enough to be one. I agree with the one beer a day rule. I don't drink one every day so I usually make up for it. I average it out.

Thats why i try to only drink once every two weeks... that way i can drink enough to get drunk. lol

Here in Lafayette there is no smoking indoors. But the establishments provide outdoor areas for smokers. That's how it should be. Smoke outdoors not indoors. Non smokers can't get away from the smoke indoors so make smokers go outside. Then that way no business should be lost.

I used to love playing gigs in lafayette because of this...In lake charles I'd load my gear up and the next day my vehicle would smell like the bottom of an ashtray. What I noticed in lafayette is the smokers really didn't mind going outside for a few anyways.
