I would be surprised if that's the case. If so, it shows how pathetic the demand from bartenders themselves is to keep smoking going in most places. (I would be very interested in the mechanics of the "vote" at a bar run by Philip Morris).
I suspect that instead it's like NYC, where as long as at least 10% of the establishment's receipts are from tobacco you can smoke to your heart's content. i.e. you are a CUSTOMER for the product, rather than bringing it in with you.
I wonder how GZeus feels about the longstanding smoking ban in cinemas. Those places used to be a smoker's paradise.

It is the case. Or at least according to the owner of Amber (in SF), it's the case. There is one other place that is run the same way, I think (the Phonebooth maybe?)

I'm all for there being non-smoking establishments. Even that being the majority! I mean, most people don't smoke. It just makes sense for smokers to have fewer places to go.Thing is, if I'm going to see a noise band in a dive bar, what happens is 50%+ of the audience is rotating 5-15 peoplee at a time in and out the door, getting more and more annoyed.It actually never bothered me that much(I kinda like the cold and how that neighborhood looks) but other people tended to get sick of trying to mark their territory, protect their drinks, take turns being the chair-watcher and spending alot less time listening to the music.
That's the only personal problem I have. It just makes me sad to see bands I like miss out being heard.But it was more what I mentioned earlier.I'd prefer to play in a place that allows smoking. it's the audience I want to play for. *shrugs* I have to sellte for the place where the most people are standing outside in the dead of winter ;)

I wasn't aware smokers were a separate audience.

i have gone from laughing at how bad this show looks to already feeling kind of sorry for it before the first episode ever airs.

HA you don't remember his TV show, do you?
Hint: it was a lot like when Beavis & Butthead went on the Gus Baker show
