i bowl in a yaba league, but i don't even have to worry about smoking as a problem. there's no smoking allowed in the bowling alley at any time. the center is more family oriented. i work there also, and it has brought many, many more people there. we have a restaurant connected to the center, with an awesome bar. people can go smoke in the bar, but it is a separate building.

Its a Mute Issue in New York, or any other state that bans smoking in public places sucj as bars, bowling centers, etc... I do know that in one Maryland center, they have a smoking room, completely enclosed, with its owm outside ventalation... and in case you're wondering, I started bowling in juniors when LBJ was in office...

Same here, smoking is illegal in airconditioned in-door areas, with a heavy fine involved. (Singapore is a "fine" city, lol) Mostly the smokers just step outside for a quick one.

Nothing worst than having to peel off your clothes when you get home and throw them into the hamper after a nite at a smoke filled center. I also bowl in NJ, and in NJ there are no smoking restrictions...

Been that way for years. The Wife " STOP!!! Clothes in the washing machine right now! Go take a Shower!" Every Thursday night! Dallas passed a law on smoking in public buildings a few years ago. There was a lot of screaming. The Mayor said that it would effect all the bowling centers in Dallas and that there were a whole bunch of them. There are only 2 bowling centers in the city of Dallas. I think it is nicer at the one Dallas center I bowl at and can tell a difference between houses. I have noticed that one of our high school teams most of the members were smoking last year. Thought that a little odd and that the other 2 teams no one was smoking.
