Not Smoking at TAMX

Not really. The smoke will build up, and escape from under the bowl, from the sides.

What we need are long transparent tubes to put around people's heads. That way the smoke will rise out of the top of the tube, like a chimney.

I was putting some thought into the design, too.

I think a small hole, with one of those rubber seal thingies, might be needed so the wear's hand can manipulate the cigaratte.

He didn't say the fishbowls would be for the smokers.

A fish bowl over the heads of non-smokers, it might not help much, either.

Not without a rubber seal thingie around the neck, and a smoke filter apratus to breathe through.

We might also need some sealed holes on the side for the wearer to place food items into his or her mouth, as well.

If the smokers far outnumber the non-smokers, this could be a more viable option. But, somehow I doubt it.
 
The fishbowls were for the smokers. It's a dual prong approach. It offers an immediate decrease in environmental smoke (albeit, yes, it leaks), but the increased concentration of toxins will accelerate the inevitable and they'll no longer be able to attend.

I think there needs to be a word for this. It's not genes or memes being selected for, but it's something .....
 
Maybe if we can get all the oxygen sucked out of the room, that would help! Without oxygen their cigarettes wouldn't be able to burn, right?!


Oh, I almost forgot, you puny humans need oxygen to live...


...okay how about plan B: Next year TAM takes place entirely under water!! How about that one?!
 
... You guys do realize that not only TAMgoers go to the bars, right? And that you can't very well ask other guests of the hotel to do what you want just because you want it?

Some Vegas hotels have non-smoking areas. South Point just isn't one of them. You could ask the JREF to change to a venue that IS non-smoking, but part of the draw of South Point is the price.
 
The smoke bothers me, but not so much that I didn't hangout at the Del Mar. This is a problem throughout all of Vegas, though...

Wait--what? Since when?

Yes of course. It's merely a numbers/concentration ploy. The Grandview seems to be highly unused due to its remote location. If it were suddenly inundated by non-smokers, there might be a chance of breathable, low-toxicity air.

Then again, maybe the HVAC pumps smokey casino air into the Grandview. At which point, the status quo rules. Smokers enjoy a carcinogenic atmosphere while many stay away.

Again, we're simply brainstorming here. No legislation has been advanced let alone passed. No option has been etched in stone. Just ideas being bounced around. If it were a simple matter, this thread would not exist.

What do the smokers do during the day when the TAM programming is going on? Do they just go to the casino and find an ashtray?

It seems they mostly hang out near the Horse's Ass, which brings us neatly back to the Dr.Buzzo solution.
