Hm.

Frankly, I would think that bowling alley owners would enjoy having their businesses open to people with asthma and allergies. Also to folks who don't want their clothes to wreak.

I know, I know.... "let the market decide." Markets are not necessarily truly free, even when they do decide without government intervention. I don't know of a non-stinking bowling alley within driving distance of anywhere I've ever lived that I'm free to choose, on a weekend night.

Then again, I'm not much of a bowler, to say nothign of being one of those folks who like to sit at a drinking trough staring at all the bottles.

Have you ever smelt rented bowling shoes???? LOL ~whew!

Anyway, hubby and I bowled for years on Loring Air Force Base. The bowling center had 4 huge smoke eaters on the ceiling. No smoke smell and when we smoked, you could just see the whip of smoke going upward until it disappeared.

Many bowlers smoke and drink beer! Especially the men's leagues.

Plus, most kids bowled on Saturday mornings. If kids were brought in at night for the leagues, the parents brought them. And smoke or not, they sure weren't worried about smoke hurting their little kiddies!

People who have asthma have inhalers to carry with them in case they get an attack. I've never known a bowler with acute asthma anyway. How on earth do you think they couldl lift a 14 pound ball and throw it down the alley for 10-12 frames???? If they are that bad on, they would not bowl. Takes a lot of stamina.

WREAK??? I think you mean reek.

Well, their clothes can easily be washed. Personal hygiene goes a long way.

Personally, I think you are just trying to be a meanie here.

LET THE PRIVATE BUSINESS DECIDE!

Frankly, I would think that bowling alley owners would like their property rights respected.

See, this is the free market: The owners have decided to accommodate smokers. Smoking bans are government intervention into the free market, despite your dismissive attitude.

Why don't you jump in and open a bowling alley that caters solely to people with allergies and asthma since you seem to think this is such a brilliant business plan?
