    Default dancers who smoke but work at nonsmoking clubs

    what do you do? I can't imagine you go outside in your dance clothes, so what do you do? especially if you're working more than five hours.

    Okay I don't smoke but they made my club nonsmoking so all the girls smoked in the dressing room.

    I couldn't go in the dressing room for a shit without coming out smelling like I smoked an entire pack myself - I fucking HATED it.

    Most clubs have back doors. Smoke out the back with a bouncer or something if they allow you.

    If they don't, don't be a bitch and smoke in the dressingroom where non-smokers have to be.

    The ONLY plus side is I was always on the floor and never in the dressing room.

    Depends, my club just became nonsmoking, and the girls have to go downstairs in the basement to smoke. They aren't allowed outside while on the clock. Honestly though, I don't think smoking will be allowed at all soon, as technically we could get shut down for them smoking anywhere in the building. So, if all else fails, find another club, or quit smoking.

    I worked in Columbus where the bars are nonsmoking and they had a little tiny nook for the dancers to smoke in behind the dressing room in a hallway.

    thank GOD someone else out there agrees with me on this issue. smoking is not allowed in any restaurant, bar, or club but for some reason the manager at my club feels that she has little control over the CONSTANT smoking that goes on in our tiny dressing room. i fucking hate it...i call it the ashtray. i feel like the only one who actually MINDS secondhand smoke. well, another girl complained about how awful her hair was smelling because of other people's cigarettes WHILE she had a cigarette in her hand and was smoking it!

    ugh!!!!!!!! stop it!

    Most of the clubs I work at that are non smoking either allow smoking in the changing room or you can go out the backdoor, or some have a patio where you can smoke. One club I worked at I would just slip on jeans and tip the bouncer to stand outside with me while I have a cig. There are ways to get around it. Thankfully im not a pack a day smoker so I can handle the couple hours that I cant smoke.

    They go outside in their clothes, but they are supposed to put some sort of cover-up on. When the main manager works, she smokes in the office.

    (Yeah, I don't smoke)

    The girls in my club just either throw on a long jacket or wrap a blanket around themselves and step outside to smoke. They aren't allowed to smoke in the dressing room, but a few of them do anyway. I don't smoke, so I could care less as long as I don't have to be subjected to it.....blacken your own lungs, leave mine alone.

    Sinder this is driving me mad!! What club do you work at? I cant think of any clubs in TO that will tollerate girls smoking in the changing room. Most I know will fire you on the spot.

    Also I love how almost none of the girls here smoke and seem to resent the girls who do smoke

    my club has a smoking patio. you can also go out back. out back is where most of the girls blaze up tha herbs too. in toronto canada, people are way too considerate to smoke in your face and blow smoke all over the room. i think it's fucking disgusting when people choose to smoke around me. i tell them that they have a choice: they chose to smoke in proximity to me, and they can also choose to go smoke somewhere else so i dont punch their fucking face in.

    Lies... It doesnt matter where you go people will do this.

    Also another thing... I love how people who smoke weed will freak on people who smoke regular ciggarets. Isnt that funny? Im sorry but as much as I hate the smell of regular ciggaretts I would rather have that smell on me then the smell of weed. There are MANY reasons.. main one being that the smell of weed will chase away customers if you cant hide it. Also it makes everyone assume your a pot head. Anyway.. im done my rant.

    BTW.. im the smoker who will not smoke around non smokers so im allowed to bitch

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Amazing to me how people will bitch and complain about how bad ciggarettes are for you, then wax poetic about how great it is to toke up on a reg basis!
    Personally I smoke cigs once in awhile...mostly when i'm bored at work or out having a cpl drinks. But I'm far from even a pack a day smoker. Maybe a pack a week, so if my club went non smoking it wouldnt really matter to me.
    And the smell of weed has always made me nauscious.(and please any pot smokers here ..I dont want to hear how I must not have smelled the "good stuff" I live in south Fl....I've smelled it all and it's ALL nasty) Even if I catch a whiff on someones clothes I want to vomit...something about it does NOT agree with me.
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    Where I live (Mass) the whole state is now smoke free.

    If I see a customer with cigarettes I invite them outside with me. Our entrance is on the side and has like an indoor private porch. Since the weather has been nice I can just go out there and sit and unless your walking into the club you cant see me or my lack of clothings. LOL.

    If it was set up differntly I just wouldnt smoke at work. Its abd for ya anyways.

    Edited to add:
    I woudl shit a brick if a girl smoked in the dressing room. With all the hair spray, deoderant spray nail polish and expensive polyester clothes.... Yea can we say fire hazard?! I would be pissed because its so small that no matter what something or someone would get burnt.

    The only club I have worked in recently in QLD where the whole state is now no smoking .... the dancers smoked in the dressing room and the dressing room isn't that big to begin with!

    If smoking isn't allowed in the rest of the club, why allow it in the dressing room? *sigh*
