It falls under the new Houston no-smoking ban as of September 1st. Same type of ban as Plano. Many municipalities are passing these ordinances which cover all public buildings and any businesses.

About the comedy club. They are now smoke free. Forgive my ignorance (and I will do some research today) but isn't a business allowed to have a smoking section if >51% of business comes from the sell of alcohol?

Thx in advance!

Depends on the club itself and also the city ordinances. Plano is now smoke-free and there is no smoking in restaurants or bars.

Which comedy club are you talking about and location?

Thx for the opinions.

Does anyone know if a Comed Club is > 51% by chance?

I think it would be. I doubt they draw more than 50% of their income from the door.

Hey, watch it. I fit 3/5 of that phrase (words 1, 2 & 5.)

I agree. While there are arguments on the wording of the statute, my opinion is it is best to be alcohol free if toting. You can be the designated driver AND shooter.
