smoking ban

Did anyone notice how pleasant the air was during the Alejandro Escovedo show because smoking was not allowed? I did not have to throw all my clothes into the wash because they stunk. The next morning, I washed my hair using a normal amount of shampoo, not the double ration usually required after a typical show.

Can't we wish that all shows were like that?

Jan 2007?

Start we again the "right to smoke" vs. the "right not to smell smoke" debate…. I'm in the latter camp and hear your immense pain. Add to this: the clothes must be concealed or washed immediately, for they will stink up the whole house.

Smoking isnt a right.

just got back from the black cat. that place has the worst smoking problem. seems like EVERYONE smokes there.

Just got back from Black Cat myself and I agree. Place is way to smokey. Other than the smoke, great show.

I went to a concert the other night, people were smoking (not me) and it was a great show, nobody was whining about it or anything. Bitches.

I get sick more times than not when I go to the Black Cat anymore. It seems like everyone feels the need to smoke there, and they have awful venelation.

I can't wait for the smoking ban. I'm pretty sure most people at bars don't smoke most of the time anyway, and wouldn't really miss it. I've never ever understood the whole "I only smoke when I drink" bullshit.

Thank heavens for smokeless tobacco. A pinch of Kodiak between cheek and gum will keep you in flavor country for at least 20 mintes. And chicks seriously dig guys who chew. They say they don't, but they're just kidding.

If you don't understand it, then you've little room to comment.

What, do you think people are lying just for the hell of it? Just to fuck with you? That's bullshit.

The ban is happening. The end. As a "social, alcohol-induced" smoker I'm probably looking forward to the ban as much as many (I'm sure I'll quit, which is great) – imagine how much more bearable Black Cat will be!! But lay off the folks who will have big adjustments to make.

I have not had a cigarette that didn't follow at least 2 drinks in 6 or 7 years…Why would I make that shit up for you??

here you guys go!!!

Yeah, I don't really get the (on-going) obsession with the ban. As a lazy non-smoker who hates washing his clothes everytime I go to a show or a bar, I couldn't be happier about the ban.

But the ban did pass and is going into effect; why keep talking about it?

the ban was made by people who love to bitch, supported by people who love to bitch and will be enjoyed by people who love to bitch.
you think they are going to stop bitching cause they got their way once?? nah!!!!

they'll bitch til new years eve about it!!!

i cant WAIT until we bitch about people eating food nearby too, cause i'd MUCH rather have a smoker near me at a show than some fat asshole with some nachos and chili fries stinkin up the joint.

yeah, and what about the stink coming from people who are "too lazy to wash their clothes."

Don't forget bitching about tall people who get there at a decent time so they can be near the front while the shorter people pile in at the last second and complain because they can't see.

2008 - Ban on people over 6 feet tall from attending ANY concert so nobody has to worry about not being able to see every inch of the stage.

well said … the large majority of people could give a fuck either way about this thing, and i'd be interested to see how many of the ban supporters actually go to bars (not restaurants) after dinner-time

jon stewart recently said something great on the daily show recently (in an interview with washpost reporter juliet eilperin): "this country is run by extremists because moderates have shit to do"

ain't it great people who prefer to go to smokefree shows are bitchy… the only bitching i see here are from people bitching about people who want to go to smoke free shows.

Was it great because you said so, or was it really great?
