There is a smoking ban at bars and restaurants coming into effect shortly, and i'm curious if anyone knows wether or not this will factor into the amount of future Gold Club Series events being held here. There would be no smoking at any clubs so would they bother to put them on here anymore if they can't market their product the way they want to?

I really don't want to see them go. I'm glad they're around 'cause if it weren't for them, the caliber of dj's Edmonton would get would be pretty low. I could put up with some cigarette smoke if it meant I got to see Tiesto twice a year.

if they cant advertise they wouldnt do shows, just like you wouldnt fuck if you did'nt have a dick.

Can't smoke in Vancouver clubs either, doesn't matter. BTW, they're not allowed to advertise, Goldclub series are "cigarette sales events".

since when?
thought the club owners association or something pushed to have smoking allowed at bars and such

only in designated smoking rooms. or sealed off areas or just outside..

besides do you really one some guy smoking up a joint in the club and have the cops come in and bust the place for that reason?

There is a smoking ban in Ottawa but we still get GoldClub events so i wouldn't worry.

heh i remember the first time i went clubbing in ottawa, everyone was smoking outside of the club then went back inside. It reminded me of high school lol

and no, I dont think you'll be much affected. The smoking ban on clubs may be directed for smoking INSIDE the club, but they may have alternate smoking areas(like outside of the club), so B&H can still advertise.

However, ciggy companies have been under fire a while back in Toronto because an issue came up that was going to ban cig companies to sponsor big events/venues in toronto, like the B&H symphony of fire and dumaurier fine arts theatre, du maurier and the canadian tennis open. I don't know whats happening with that though...because that can take a huge toll on our entertainment sponsorship

I'm very anti-smoking in public places, due to the side effects of smoking.

I like going out clubbing, I don't like being stuff up the next day from the blue cloud of smoke.

Our local restaurants (here in Edmonton) flipped out when we banned smoking with the exception of lounges, but life was remarkably normal after the change. The same will happen if smoking is banned in clubs.

Well at the Sasha event last week there was quite a bit of smoking taking place and they were selling packs in the club, so either it was a "special dispensation" type thing or everyone ignores the ban.
