SRS, your experience with clubs echoes mine. I won't support them. Artists who insist on a smoking environment, I don't care how talented they are, don't deserve support for inculcating a destructive health pattern and inflicting it on others.

It's not fair to have non-smokers subjected to outside-the-door smokers who make entries into establishments miserable.

I have been penalized as a lover of jazz and folk by not seeing live performers because they are in a toxic environment.

Maybe this is one reason folk clubs are going down the tubes, at least here in the States.

Why is it that music must be identified with alcohol and tobacco, a prison chain of
destruction of mind and body?
