    Default Second Hand Smoke Fail

    this is mostly a rant because there are other threads on being in the smokey titty bar on here.

    But my god.... it sucks.

    i used to smoke back in the day but i quit like 2 yrs ago. now the only time i smoke cigarettes is on long car rides to help me stay focused.

    In most clubs i have worked at, smoking is not allowed in the club. NOLA is the exception.

    everytime i come down here i get 'sick' with a cough.

    yesterday it started again. and it occured to me im not sick.... i feel fucking fantastic besides the cough that keeps returning whenever i work down here. it has to be the second hand smoke. Boo!

    it sucks. tonight is my last night of work before heading back to Austin for reggaefest. but last night i had to end conversations with customers TWICE so i could run into the bathroom and hack up a lung. i dont like coughing in front of customers as it makes them uneasy.

    hopefully my lungs will survive tonight and the cough wont affect my earnings too too badly.




    i guess i am kind of grateful for the facist smoking laws in other places. even if im against regulating what the private business allows in theory. although a smoking ban in NOLA would be retarded since one of the reasons everyone loves the place is because of the anything goes mentality.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Yeah ugh I'm a smoker and it frustrates me that I can't smoke at work BUT I do feel a lot better now that I'm not in a smokey ass bar. Cigars are the worst for my allergies! Instant sinus headache.

    True story: I had a cough really bad when I first started dancing. I stayed at work for most of my sickness, but there were a few days I had to call in because I had a fever and was coughing up a lung. Well, not only did I make shit money when I was working because I smelled like Hall's and couldn't stop with the coughing and watery eyes, but I was also fined 50 bucks for every day I was out. Because, in strip club owner logic... If you're sick enough to miss work, you're sick enough to go to the doctor and get an excuse. Ok bitch, wanna PAY for my doctor visit?

    Sorry, pointless industry rant. I'm adjusting to the smoking ban really well though and try to stay busy enough to not want to smoke. Most NC clubs don't allow the girls to drink, so I want to smoke even less.

    My club allows smoking and I'd really rather it didn't. I don't smoke at all so it pisses me off that I have to breathe so much in, and plus I have to think what I'm taking into the club ahead of time, because it will reek of smoke afterwards. There's been times I've walked from my car to the club in the rain coatless, rather than wear it in and have to put it through the washing machine each time. Even my skin smells like smoke when I leave that place.

    The thing that really gets me is when you're sitting with a customer and they say 'oh, do you mind if I smoke?'. I say I don't mind, and they proceed to blow it all over me. I'm like dude, I don't mind it but I sure don't love it!

    Ugh, my club allows smoking and I don't smoke. Most of the guys just light up without even bothering to ask if I mind. I smell so bad afterword. Like Miss McKenna said, even my skin stinks!

    Even when I was a smoker, I couldn't stand smelling other people's smoke inside. Haha. It bothers my lungs and even worse- my EYES. When people are smoking inside and I'm wearing my contacts it feels like someone popped out my eyeballs and replaced them with dry sponges....

    This didn't used to bother me but now that I'm older I notice I have sinus problems around smoke and when people smoke herb around me I break out in hives. I think my skin has become uber sensitive.

    Our entire dressing room smells like a combination of nicotine and fruity fresh lotion. I don't even know why I bother trying to smell nice, because every night I come home smelling like stale cigarettes and 20 different types of body spray.

    Denver has a law that you can't smoke inside the clubs unless a certain percentage (I believe 10%+) of the club's revenue comes from selling cigars/cigarettes. However, many of the clubs still allow the girls to smoke in the dressing room, which really annoys me. I can't sleep when I smell like smoke, so I always have to shower after work to get the smoke smell off, and then again before work to shave.

    Yeah, I don't smoke, and girls sit upstairs and puff away in the dressing room all fucking night. I'll get changed at the end of the night and all my stuff will REEK of cigarette smoke. Pisses me off. I'm not a smoker, I don't want to fucking smell like one.

    This might be the thing I'm dreading the most about stripping. All of the clubs around here still allow smoking. Blech. I quit a couple years ago and cannot stand the smell of smoke.

    I recently quit and I'm still at that stage where cig smoke smells delicious to me. Luckily smoking is banned in all public places here. It must suck for you having to breathe in that smoke all the time. Normally I'm against government interference with things, but I don't think non smokers should be forced to breathe in other's smoke, especially in their work place. I quit last year for six months and started again when I went to Saint Louis and everyone was smoking around me in the bars and restaurants.
