<p>in Florida is smoking allowed in restuarants and bars?</p>
<p>There's smoking areas in restaurants that allow smoking.</p>
<p>how about in the bars?</p>
<p>I'm sure it would be the same for bars. I know that a lot of the studios I've gone too allow smoking.</p>
<p>so for those who visit bars along tennesee street what is the smoking situation? do your clothes smell like smoke when you come home?</p>
<p>what is a studio?</p>
<p>It's a bar, but mostly for concerts.</p>

<p>Florida</a> Smoking Laws, Restaurants, Country Clubs, Patios and Decks, Smoking Laws</p>
<p>Smoking is NOT ALLOWED in all the following public workplaces:</p>
<p>1.) Any enclosed, indoor workplace, including hallways, corridors, lobbies, conference rooms, aisles, water-fountain areas, break rooms, restrooms, stairways and entryways.</p>
<p>2.) Charitable, nonprofit or veterans organizations that have an employee</p>
<p>3.) Restaurants</p>
<p>4.) Hotel lobbies and common areas</p>
<p>5.) Country clubs</p>
<p>6.) Prisons</p>
<p>7.) Bowling alleys</p>
<p>8.) Movie sets, theatrical performances</p>
<p>9.) Family Care Homes (private residences during commercial use for child care, adult care or health care)</p>
<p>10.) Airports, except in controlled lounges that meet certain tests for ventilation</p>
<p>Smoking IS allowed , but not required to be permitted, in the following:</p>
<p>1.) Stand-alone bars that meet nine criteria, notably:</p>
<p>a) No more than 10-percent gross revenues are derived from food consumed on the premises</p>
<p>b) Not located within, and not sharing any common entryway or common indoor area with, any other enclosed workplace</p>

<p>5.) Certain nonprofit organizations in leased spaces for non-commercial activities</p>
<p>6.) Smoking-cessation programs approved by the Florida Department of Health</p>
<p>7.) Medical or scientific research facilities</p>
<p>Cybermom is right--there is NO SMOKING of any kind in any section of any restaurant, indoors, ever. To be a "bar" you cannot sell much food at all, less than 10% of revenue. A restaurant can have an outdoor area for smokers, but nothing indoors at all. </p>
<p>You cannot smoke indoors in very many public places at all. You cannot smoke in many outdoor venues either. For instance, you cannot smoke at an outdoor stadium in Florida. </p>
<p>You pretty much can only smoke in and around your own home, in airport designated areas, in a hotel room designated as a smoking room (and many hotels including ALL DISNEY HOTELS HAVE GONE NONSMOKING), in outdoor areas where people do not congregate, and in bars. It's quite nice if you are a nonsmoker.</p>
<p>they smoke at the strip..</p>
<p>Yes, indoors at the bars, outdoors anywhere else.
Here is a piece for those who don't know about the strip.A</a> trip down the strip for the newly legal - Arts and Entertainment</p>
<p>One of the best laws in Florida ever passed was banning smoking in restaurants.</p>
<p>p2n agreed we were thrilled when smoking was banned here in ny. when we visited FL I didnt recall anyone smoking in the hotel or at restaurants we went to...</p>
<p>cybermom thanks for info..........</p>
<p>how bad is the smoking at the strip ---fsu-uf ?</p>
<p>I do think students smoke in pubs, hookah bars and of course cigar bars.</p>
<p>It is hard to understand with all the negative information about the health risks, increased insurance premiums and unsociability of smoking, some young people pick up the habit anyway.</p>
