It has been the history of "private clubs" to offer memberships at the door that I am suggesting would make it difficult for any city that has moved away from private clubs to reenter that area of activity. We saw it in the past with "bottle clubs," which ended up to be nothing more than after hour joints and "private gentle-man's clubs" that were nothing more than whore houses. So, I don't think that I was a part of stop smoking crusade (since I smoke) I was just trying to not get Andrew's hopes up to high. Usually when someone has an idea to get around a law, it isn't an original idea. Private clubs have been pretty badly hiden attempts at scirting booze, sex and drug laws before and would look pretty much the same in this case to any law maker.
