Smoking ban
continued from page 1
The citywide smoking ban in
bingo halls, bars and taverns was
passed by the Eugene City Council
and has been in effect for almost a
year, but local bartenders still have
mixed feelings about how the ordi
nance has affected business.
“We’ve dropped off in business
dramatically,” Bingomania Manag
er Tammy Cole said.
The business is relocating after
months of low turnout.
“We used to get 120 people on
Saturdays,” Cole said. “Now we’re
lucky if we get 60 to 70.”
John Rudd, bartender at Taylor’s
Bar and Grille, said he appreciates
having a smoke-free workplace.
“You get 300 people in here and
200 people are smoking cigarettes
— it’s not healthy for anybody,”
Rudd said.
While some customers may be
inconvenienced by the ban, Rudd
said he doesn’t think it affects
where they go to buy beer.
“This is a campus bar,” Rudd said.
“The people down here are gonna
come even if you impose a dress
code or make them smoke crack.”
Taylor’s patron Scott McCallum
said he’s happy the bar has only
outside smoking.
“You don’t reek of smoke when
you leave,” he said Sunday after
noon.
O’Donnell’s Irish Pub owner
Shon O’Donnell said his bar con
tinues to suffer from a loss of busi
ness. While his alcohol sales re
main steady, he’s experienced a
loss of revenue from video poker
customers, who often smoke while
they gamble. Many of his former
patrons now drive to bars outside of
Eugene’s city limits.
“It’s pretty much hampered our
bottom line,” said O’Donnell, who
added that video poker sales are
down 30 percent. “The ban is just a
ridiculous thing.”
Kathy Thomason, manager at
Springfield’s Alibi Tavern, said
she serves many Eugene residents
who drive to Springfield just for
the smoking.
“People play the (video poker)
machines and want to have a ciga
rette,” she said. “You have a choice
whether to go in a bar or not. If you
don’t want to smoke, don’t go.”
Thus far, patrons of Max’s, a place
one employee calls the “rebel bar,”
give the smoking ban mixed reviews.
“I want to sit inside and
drink my beer and smoke
my cigarette at the
same time."
Benjamin Leonhardt
Max’s customer
“I want to sit inside and drink
my beer and smoke my cigarette at
the same time,” said Max’s cus
tomer Benjamin Leonhardt while
taking a drag outside the bar.
Fellow smoker and Max’s pa
tron Marcos Delafuente said he ac
tually appreciated the ban for
making him think twice before
breaking open a pack.
“People who come to a bar
shouldn’t have to deal with us
smokers,” Delafuente said.
He added that going outside to
smoke makes him think more seri
ously about “kicking his vice.”
Linguistics student Lucas Houck
agreed.
“I’m a fish out of water tonight,”
he said as he smoked outside. “But
I’ll tell you the truth — it’s much
better in there.”
