Smoking Venue And Hoster

[RandyMcCharles]

I'm not sure about the US. In Canada businesses have the right to deny service to anyone for any reason. The people, then, have to right to go after businesses for human rights violations if they feel they have a case. eg. If a bar says 'only white people allowed', they would lose a human rights lawsuit. If a men's club says 'only men allowed', chances are a lawsuit would fail. The recent question has come up about private smoking clubs. I am not aware of any in Canadian smoke-free districts. If it does happen, I am sure the question of how private is private will come up. eg. If you pay cover charge (membership) and smoke, you would prabably lose the argument that you are private. If you charged a large annual membership fee, you may be able to convince a court. It will be interesting to see if anyone has or will attempt this.
