    Default Smoking ban at your club

    Is there one in place? Our's just went into effect and it's KILLING business thus far. I only worked one day, I couldn't handle how dead it was. It picked up later on, but alot of girls (myself included) barely made anything. They're building a patio for smokers but it won't be done for another 2 weeks


    How is it where y'all are at? How are you handling it?

    My home state has had a smoking ban for a while, at first business was so slow in town then out of the blue it was super busy then it died down to regular business mode. I don't know how the strip clubs were affected specifically because I wasn't old enough to work there when it happened. My friend was though and she just started working all week instead of a couple days to make up for the money difference so I assume it sucked for the girl. The slow period couldn't have lasted more than a month or two.

    The two clubs I work at found a way to get around it. In VA you have to have a non smoking room. they made that room the lap dance room so customers can smoke in the bar.

    Albuquerque has one. I didn't notice any change in business.

    thank god new orleans does not have a smoking ban. i quit smoking and sometimes i hate the second hand smoke, but it beats losing our customers to the bourbon st madness.

    i cant believe the smoking ban is passed almost everywhere by now. its fucking ridiculous.
    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.

    it seems so alien that smoking used to be allowed in bars and restaurants in the uk, i would't ever want it to go back to that, although stinky customers will stand out even more!

    My entire state has been smoke free since 2004.

    In fact my state hasn't served alcohol in strip clubs since 1980-something.

    The smoking ban for our entire town went into effect 3 years ago. I wasn't working at the club then, but the girls complain that business is much slower than it was before the ban. But I don't know how much that's really due to the ban. Smokers may whine, but if you can't smoke in any bar/club/restaurant around town, I doubt they choose to sit at home rather than just have to go outside when they want to smoke at a club. So I think business just got slow for the club in general, as it's been for other clubs around the country lately. I personally like the ban. I hate sitting in stinky bars, even if I feel like smoking that night.

    Business went down all over for a while, from what I hear, when our smoking ban went into effect. It's been a couple years now and you don't really hear people complain much about it. The only problem is that on any given night there may be more customers on the smoking patio than indoors watching the dancers.
