Exotic dancer Natalia Mirasecka of Bordentown, N.J. yells while holding up a protest sign as she and a group of exotic dancers, many from area go-go bars, joined in a demonstration Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006, outside the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton, N.J., against New Jersey's ban on indoor smoking in public places that will be signed into law on by Gov. Richard J. Codey Sunday

If I were a stripper, I wouldn't want people smoking around me.

Well I don't know about that.
Back in the day (god I feel old) I avoided going to the clubs because my wife would know where I had been due to the smoke that permeated my clothes.

The ban, which affects bars and restaurants — but not gambling areas of casinos — is to be signed into law Sunday by Gov. Richard J. Codey.This about sums it up... How much of a spread is there between tax revenues of a gambling joint and a local bar??

Obviously the strippers, smokers, bar owners, restaurant owners, etc. don't agree with you.

...where I had been due to the smoke that permeated my clothes. But I guess the strippers can't use that argument....

The Casinos have NJ pols in their pockets and this legislation only amplifies that fact.

Makes sense in a way. Government banning things "for our own good" doesn't stop on its own.

Back in the day (god I feel old) I avoided going to the clubs because my wife would know where I had been due to the smoke that permeated my clothes. Sounds like a good niche market for some strip club owners to go non-smoking. Of course, that is an idea based on freedom and capitalism, things the anti-smoking nazis wouldn't understand.
To: GoforBroke
That's probably not a true story. Back in the "old days" everybody smoked everywhere. You must have been suspect by your wife if she thought that the odor of cigarette smoke meant you were going to strip joints.
Actually, the answer for patrons of strip clubs is to switch to smoking pot. No one seems to object to that.
