How does this ban affect places like Churchill's or Don Juan?

we agree on this ordinance. I'm just trying to provide some color so that in the future you don't always think all things government related are not good.

I can assure you that the best option we've had for over 100 years is state regulated workers' compensation. And while many slip though the cracks and abuse the system, it overall has benefited our workforce in ways you and I will never have to understand, thankfully.

eta I'll stop derailing the thread now.

The previous attempts had cigar bar and hookah/vape bar exemptions. I would hope this does as well, but I am not completely sure.

This is terrible. I'm glad this didn't happen while I was still in school.

It's blatant abuse of authority to tell a business owner what he/she can do inside the walls of their establishment.


Okay. Next week we'll call off the health inspectors.

Smoke free casinos? What is this shite?

Are they going to ban alcohol from them next?

Mayor Sharon Weston Broome will sign an ordinance Thursday to make bars and casinos in East Baton Rouge Parish smoke-free.


Good deal. Once this is in effect, I can start going by Happy's Irish Pub again. I've been avoiding it due to the smoking. I can't stand to breath second-hand smoke. I might even start going back to the casinos to play blackjack.

Since you can't get respiratory illnesses from breathing alcohol, I kind of doubt it.

I am pretty certain that cigar bars are exempt from what I've heard and read about the ordinance.

No, but over 90% of health experts agree that breathing second-hand smoke can be really bad for one's health. And since smokers now constitute a minority...oh well.

On a cool December night in the year of our Lord, 2005..I projectile vomited on the craps table at The Belle. Nasty sushi and sake from Tsunami, errryyywhere.

I felt like an Olympic sprinter/hurdler on that motion runway as I hurdled the turnstile and faded into the night of downtown Baton Rouge.

Are you forced to go to bars that allow smoking? If the answer is no, then you have no argument.

Because the government is telling business owners that they can't allow their patrons to engage perfectly legal activities on their own property. If we're concerned about people's health, then they shouldn't be able to serve booze or unhealthy foods either.

I have. But now that the filthy, disgusting habit of smokers infringing on my right to breath clean air in public places will soon be a thing of the past, I can now enjoy my favorite bar again as will the majority of the populace who aren't stupid enough to still smoke in this day and age.
