So these hypothetical people are taking a vacation to hang out in bars the whole time? Even then, there are plenty of smoke free bars for them to get their lush on.

still...we're talking about new orleans here. who books a trip to new orleans to have the same bar feel as everywhere else

i thought the entire point of the "culture" stuff was b/c Nola was different. our bars are dirty, grimey, and full of cultcha

Also, with Bourbon being exempt are they going to avoid it all together? I don't see someone who's taking a vacation with the intention of drinking around strangers not wanting to spend some time on Bourbon.

wait Bourbon is exempt?

how did i miss that earlier?

I don't think that it's 100% for sure exempt. The article was poorly written. But all indications are that Bourbon bars and Harrah's will be allowed to have indoor smoking.

Smoke ain't part of the ambience they like. Come on.

Again, I don't think the economic argument works here anyway, and it isn't the point.

If bourbon is exempt then the law has reached an even higher level of hypocracy then initially believed

I saw nothing bout Bourbon being exempt. In fact, it was one of the main focuses of the ordinance. The black council members are so concerned about the health of city, but literally do nothing to stop the killings/robberies that are getting all too common now down town.
