I'm a musician who has been playing the NYC clubs for years.Anyone who tells you the smoking ban dosenet have a NEGATIVE effect on business is full of SH*T. Bloombergs logic for it was to keep bar employees from breathing smoke. I've YET to meet the bar employee who believes that or cares.They wouldn't be in the bar business in the first place if cigarette smoke bothered them and everyone of them will tell you so.The mayor feels he bought NYC just like another company he owns. He hates cigaretts and thats that ..PERIOD. Last summer people were complaining that there were crowds outside the clubs and smoke was getting into their open windows. The cops started chasing smokers from the from of clubs.What a mess. A lot of kids now take the Path trains to NJ where it's still civilized and people can have a beer and a smoke.PS Im a non smoker

Bars, nightclubs, disco's have always ALWAYS gone hand-in-hand with smoking. Anyone who took a job in one knew right from the start that they would be subject to cigarette smoke. If smoking bothered them, they would not take that job.
There is an article about BloomingIdiot going over to Turkey for a visit. He sat on his butt with his shoes off in the tents with the Turkey big wigs. Everyone was smoking all around Bloomberg and he didn't say one word. But when it's on his own turf, HE is the boss. He is a disgusting creature. It's the Mayor's job to run the city's business and NOT the business of the city.
Ah, New England. Doncha love it?!
