There are still a few states that don't have hookah bars yet, but I get about 5-10 hookah bars owners submitting their new hookah bar every month so I doubt it will stay that way for long. Entrepreneurs are jumping on the hookah bar trend and doing very well.<BR/><BR/>Ben Krull<BR/>Owner, Hookah-Bars.comBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912700020857265285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14896138.post-90183079049036552012007-11-26T05:01:00.000-08:002007-11-26T05:01:00.000-08:00California has similar anti-smoking laws, but hook...California has similar anti-smoking laws, but hookah lounges and cigar bars are permitted thanks to some type of loophole in the legislation. Smoking is allowed in private businesses providing that everyone who works in the location is an owner or an immediate family member of one.Caravan Trading Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745006194825882948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14896138.post-54759608914882182642007-11-22T08:14:00.000-08:002007-11-22T08:14:00.000-08:00Hi Carleen, Happy Thanksgiving!I suspect the reaso...Hi Carleen, Happy Thanksgiving!<BR/><BR/>I suspect the reason there's a paucity of shisha lounges in some states is the local anti-smoking legislation. In our area, smoking of cigarettes, Western-style pipes, etc., is prohibited in any restaurant or bar (any indoor public venue, in fact), yet for some reason, hookah lounges are exempt from that -- for hookah-smoking, that is; I don't think one can light up a cigarette there. I think cigar bars are permitted, too. I haven't read the legislation, but it must be worded in some way that permits certain types of 'recreational' or 'social' smoking in places established specifically for that purpose, which seems quite sensible. But it may be that in other states or municipalities the laws are more restrictive and ban every kind of smoking, in all public places. New England would be a most likely region to find such laws, as one finds there a funny mix of liberal-P.C.-chic and the remnants of a puritanical past. So, there may be no hope for hookah-lounge entrepreneurs up there!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you and Ali! -- CyndiThistleStophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978344386022195368noreply@blogger.com
