I hear more and more about bowling alleys starting to go smoke free, some completely and others during certain hours.  However, here in Iowa they are debating a statewide ban on public smoking...I won't dish out all the details but this would include all bowling alleys.  

So my question is, would you actually give up bowling if you couldn't smoke while you did it?

i love going into smoke free bowling alleys they smell fresh and actually welcomeing rather than smelling like a bar and midnight.

I pray for the day when this state wises up and makes bowling alleys smoke free.

I just love coughing up a lung the entire next day after bowling......

Our center went smoke free ( military) last season. We lost about 6 folks on one night, none on the other I bowl on and none on the ladies night, according to my wife.

I can't say for the rest of them but there's a few. I smoke and I'm still there, just go outside when I want to smoke, no big deal. I smoke outside my home so it's nothing new.

I am a non-smoker and I do support smoke-free bowling alleys.  I think it is great.  How can you be expected to perform  your best in conditions like the ones found in smoking bowling alleys.  I just don't get it.

I hope that Iowa passes the bill.

New York has been statewide smoke free for a few years and its much much better.  There's not that musty smoke stench in any of the buildings anymore and my asthma and allergies are much better because of it.  Nowadays I don't have to worry about walking through second hand smoke and holding my breath as I do like I did when I was younger.  Though the house that held the school Varisty leagues was always smoke free during the league because it was a school event and everyone participating was under 18.

This makes bowling so much more enjoyable for me it's not funny.  I love it !!!!!!!!

In Minnesota all bowling alleys are now smoke free and it is SO nice. I work in Minneapolis and they had a ban before the state did and it was a wonderful change. I bowl in West St Paul, and they didn't have an ordinance until the state passed it. what a difference. don't know anyone who quit bowling because of the ban...
