Yes, it would be great if Michigan had a smoking ban,
as I work up there a lot. But, for smoke density in
clubs, I would suspect N/W Indiana is about at the top
of the list...One on one I can handle, most of the
time - as I have several friends who smoke. It's the
concentration of smoke, poor ventilation, etc. that
makes some of these clubs intolerable; some nights my
heavy duty stage fan fights a losing battle...
