    Default Strip Clubs and Smoking...What States Can You Still Smoke Cigs in???

    So I'm gonna go back to dancing, after retiring from escorting. (It's not my thing anymore, and it burned me out soooo bad.)

    I live in NC, and the last thing I ever would have expected in tobacco country is to have a smoking ban thrown down in my home county.

    I'm not even gonna go into why this is bad for business across the board, but I'm wondering if there are any clubs left on the East Coast you can smoke cigarettes in.

    And what do you girls who work in non-smoking establishments DO anyway??? I go into super-bitch mode if I don't have my cigarettes, and patches aren't very attractive and make me dizzy anyway.

    It's not like we can go out into the parking lot for a cig.

    Any thoughts?

    Vegas you still can.
    Here in Wisconsin, we can.......................UNTIL......July 5th. :/
    I guess if some clubs/bars get special permits we'll still be able to.

    In Arizona, we had to get dressed and go outside to smoke. Fucking pain in the ass.

    Oh and in Winston Salem they pretty much ignore the laws at every club.

    South Carolina. I heard the foxy lady in raleigh allows smoking inside... not that you'd want to work there, lol. I'm pretty stoked on the smoking ban though. I don't like all my clothes and my hair smelling like cigarettes; its freaking gross.

    louisiana you can still smoke. parts of tx you can (fort worth yes, dallas no, austin law says no but people seem to smoke in the clubs anyway). denver you can smoke. pittsburgh you can smoke, although blush has a flat out ban on ANYONE Smoking... like in all the clubs that i have worked at girls had a smoking area but at blush the owner wouldnt let anyone smoke while working. one of hte many reasons why i think that guy is the biggest douche ever.

    as an ex smoker i actually appreciate it. when i went to NOLA, if i worked more than 3 nights in a row my 4th night would inevitably result in me having to run to the dressing room on several occasions to cough up a lung because the second hand smoke kept giving me a dry cough. and i would have to make excuses to the customers... so a lot of customers in NOLA thought i was having severe asthma problems lol. but seriously, it really sucked for me. ginger tea kept some of hte coughing at bay, but not all of it.

    most clubs will have a smoking area. sometimes seperate from the customers sometimes with the customers. if its with the customers it will probably be a patio. although most clubs will not allow lapdances to be sold outside. like i said, the only club i have ever seen that would just plain not let girls smoke was blush... and it was legal in that city that was just the owner being a micromanaging jerk who desperately needed to learn the definition of 'independent contractor.'
    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.

    Uhhh...I did work there, for almost two years. I love it there, it's laid back, the other girls were cool, they let me play whatever must I wanted to dance to, and I never saw an extra the whole time I worked there, and their lapdance room isn't exactly stealthy. It has a bad rap but it's actually quite a fun place to work in if you're a fan of dive bars and waffle houses like me.

    We are able to go outside to smoke but its such a pain in the ass to get dressed, go have a cig, then go back , get undressed, eat like 5 mints, and spray myself down with body spray. It takes 15 minutes for a 2 minute cig break.

    I just try to keep myself busy so I dont think about it, They also have electronic cigs being sold now that use liquid nicotine, so theres no smell, therefore u can smoke anywhere because just water vapor comes out when you exhale. Im thinking about buying one. I have some friends who have it and they love it.

    And yes, not having a cig for a long period of time can make me really bitchy

    I wonder if we worked together. I like certain things about the fox, but there are a lot of things about the place that I can't stand. David Humphries has pissed me off on too many occasions. The VIP "hallway" isn't stealthy, but I have seen extras there from girls showing pussy, to girls hands in guys pants. I worked there for three years. Plus they don't take credit cards there, and they not only take too much of your lap dance $, thier housefee, manditory dj fee, and bouncer fees are ridiculous for the type of club it is.its one of the most expensive club In the triangle to work at if you don't want to work a 10 hour shift.

    Sorry, i didn't mean to change the subject; I just hate David.

    Have you considered diamond girls out on angier ave in Durham? I bet you can still smoke in there. Plus tip out is only $20 bux if you are ready & on the floor by 8:15. I made decent money when I worked there.

    You can't smoke "inside" of diamond girls, but they have an area outside that is enclosed by tarps, so it's almost like theyve created a little extra "room" outside the side door. You wouldn't really have to get dressed to be in there, so that would be an advantage to you, and your smoke wouldn't have to end up in the lungs of anyone who doesn't want it to end up there, but you wouldn't be able to smoke in the DR or at a customer's table.

    I quit Diamond Girls in Feb of this year after working there about 9 months. Money was ok for a little bit ($200-$300 for a 6-8 hr weekend night shift) but towards the end of working there I could barely pull $100. Black girls seemed to make a lot of $$ there though. The place is pretty busted, w/ broken mirrors on the walls and bugs crawling around. Unless theyve changed it a lot since I left, which I doubt. There was also a ton of drugs, drama and narrowly-avoided fist-fights between girls (and a couple of actual brawls between customers), plus a couple of guns got pulled when I was working there. There would be 1 bouncer working on the weekend, and none during the week. That place is really unsafe. Try it at your own risk.

    Also I'm curious, have you noticed a significant drop in customer patronage or spending since the smoking ban took effect, and if so are you sure it's attributable to the ban itself? I'm wondering cuz from what I understand in states w/ indoor smoking bans business tends to drop somewhat at first then picks back up to normal levels.

    Reiterating New Orleans and Austin. Las Vegas too, and the Gold Club in SF had a smoking room. Florida as far I know and Atlanta as well.

    You can smoke at all bars in WY . I think there might be riots and fires here if they ever try to change that.
    In NV you can.
    San Francisco you can't.

    Cigs are allowed in OK, but if Kansas is taking action, our state may follow.

    Ha, I always considered David to be largely retarded and always tried to talk to him as if conversing with a small child. Highly effective. Darryl's pretty cool though.

    I haven't checked out Diamond Girls. I was considering going to Executive Suite in Greensboro and checking it out.

    Has anyone worked at that new place Capital Cabaret yet???

    Meh, I'm not a darryl fan either; he needs to stop fucking the dancers.

    I checked out capital, and its a really nice club. The contact levels expected by customers are beyond my level of comfort though. I'm pretty sure you can't smoke in there, however.
