South Dakota Smoking Ban - How Bars & Pubs Can Avoid Loss In Income
I came across recently a news item about the pending smoking ban legislation in South Dakota. South Dakota is just the latest in a long line of states where smoking is being banned across the public spectrum in bars, restaurants and all working places.
One of the worst affected industries when a smoking ban comes into affect is the pub, bar industry. With about 50% of regular drinkers at the local bar or pub being smokers it has been shown that these people either go to the bar less often or buy their beer and liquour at the store and drink at home.
The effect on small local pubs can be dramatic with a 30% loss of regular income.
The good news is now there is a solution at hand that can limit the damage…the electronic cigarette.
Elecric cigarettes simulate the smoking experience and produce only water vapour as a bi-product making them acceptable to be used in all places where smoking is banned. The smoker still gets his nicotine. And more importantly, still gets to enjoy it sitting on a stool at his local pub.
Bar owners in South Dakota would do well to get a distributor licence as soon as possible and start marketing the electronic cigarettes to their regular customers. Not only will this dampen the effect when the bans are effected but the increase in revenue they can make from the sales of refills etc will further make sure they are not losing money because of the ban.
