So is Heroin, cocaine and pot, but those are not allowed in the club.
The difference is Herion, cocaine and pot are not allowed anywhere and are illegal. Booze and cigarettes are not illegal and therefore, allowed in the club.
Well actually coke and heroin are legal for certain things, and alcohol and cigarettes are not legal for people under a certain age. So in some ways they are the same.
you guys get provoked easily. you're fun.
People smoke, get over it. It's a free country (at least for now anyway). If you don't want to be around it, go see the shitty bands at the Ram's Head.

Yeah coke is used in certain medical applications - it's a schedule 2 narcotic. But heroin, that's a schedule 1 narcotic and is not legal for any use at all, medical or otherwise (except for rare cases of authorized research).
I'm rather torn about it

it imposes on the freedom of either side, no matter which you you go (smoking vs. non)

Since it's your club, if left up to you, what would you choose Seth? A smoking 9:30 or a non-smoking 9:30?

it is left up to him isnt it?
The owner(s) of the 930 club are obviously intelligent and decent business men/women judgeing by the length of time the place has been around and the talent that comes in.

Does anyone here truly believe that if the owners thought they could make more $$$$ if the club was non-smoking that they would not do it in a heartbeat?

I believe it should be up to the proprietor of a business to decide is smoking is allowed or not, its a private establishment and it should be the owners right to choose what makes the most business sense!

If you dont like it dont go.
in this case, it's not clear cut which way to go, for money or ethical reasons

some people like to enjoy smoking - I want to be a place where people have fun

some people hate smoking and don't want to be around it - those people deserve to enjoy themselves, too

like I said, I'm torn
I'm not a smoker but couldnt imagine going to a concert and not having it. As long as the person isn't intenionally blowing it in my face, I don't mind it. I go there knowing that I'm going to at least smell it….Not a big deal.

I've attended shows in Boston and NYC where there is a government-issued smoking ban for clubs. It definitely makes a difference and is quite noticeable.

That said, 9:30 is one of my favorite venues….whether or not smoking is allowed isn't a top priority for me when it comes to choosing to attend a show.

if people enjoyed taking dumps in the middle of your club would you allow that?

as a smoker, there are many "last minute decision" shows I just wouldn't go to if the club was non-smoking … shows like Trash Can Sinatras or something, where I just decide to go that night, I probably wouldn't go if I couldn't smoke.
I find it hilarious and sad that people 'enjoy' smoking.

huh? what cave did you just crawl out of?

i find it hilarious and sad that you can't fathom a smoker enjoying a cigarette.

That hacking cough smokers have doesn't sound as if it's a very enjoyable experience to me.
