This happened in Florida 6 1/2 years ago. Can't tell ya how nice it is not to
clean dirty ashtrays! It's super nice! Anyway, everyone thought we'd lose
business. Well, no one lost business. People just go outside and smoke.
Every state is different. In Florida it's all about 10% of food sales. So, the
nightclubs have smoking. But it's still up to the owner whether he/she wants
smoking. The best example is Disney's nightclubs. No smoking is allowed even
though no food is sold.
