I have to say...I don't find the smell factor to be a convincing reason at
all. Clear the smoke and the 506 is still going to smell like beer, sweat,
and piss. The health factors on the other hand are pretty straight forward.

So..if you are going to do it for health reasons, you pretty much have to
ban smoking, not limit it to the bar. I can't imagine that passing through
that small space for drinks, bathroom  use, and enter/exit can be much
better for your lungs/heart.

As a smoker, it is a bit sad to see all of these places go non-smoking.
Where's the danger? Can't we have a rock club too? Can't the non-smokers
stay home? If you can't smoke at the 506 at 1 am on a Friday night than
where can you smoke FFS?

There certainly are reasons to stay a smoking club and all of you
non-smokers know what you risk upon entry. Regardless, it is going to happen
sooner or later anyways (even in NC) and it probably does make business
sense. Maybe James and I should just finally quit.
