Would it be a good idea to put a smoking section in movie theatres?

I'm old enough (Sadly) to remember the days when people could smoke in movie theaters. The smoke, oddly enough, didn't realize that it was supposed to stay in the smoking section, and instead drifted all over. There's no reason to go back to those days. If you need a cig, go out and smoke, and miss the film.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO
Absolutely not. Unless they are enclosed in glass and the other people in the theater can't inhale their smoke. Maybe at a drive-in.
No, you would still be able to smell the smoke. They would have to have special theaters completely separate for smoking.
I'd say no too.
i think that it is not a good idea to have a smoking section in the movie theater beacuse there are a lot of kids that go to the movies.
No, I don't think so. The wat I see it, there is no such thing as a "smoking section". A movie theater is one big building with big rooms. The smoke would effect everyone, not just the person smoking. The same thing with resturants. One big space. The smoke goes into the air all over the building, not just in the one area where the cigarette or cigar was smoked. I don't know about other people, but if movie theaters smelled like smoke, it would make the experience of seeing a movie in a theater much less enjoyable, as smoke really bothers me. Good question, though.
No. I'm a smoker but if I can't go a couple of hours without a cigarette that really is my problem, not everyone elses.

Besides, with home theater sales burgeoning and movie theater ticket sales dropping, it wouldn't be worth the money it would cost to add special ventilation systems (and even then some of the smoke would still get to the non smokers).
No.You would still be able to smell the smoke.
Ummm.... let me think about that. NO!!!! Smoking is disgusting, why do you think it is being banned everywhere even in bars now???
yes. years ago I worked at a theater where there was smoking and non smoking. I think that those who get up and move and miss the movie to smoke makes me nutty
People used to be able to smoke in theatres and in restaraunts.!!! It would not be a good idea to add a smoking section at this point in anti-smoking culture. I stay home and am able to watch DVD's and VHS tapes. Net Flix is great!!!
NO! I would never go to the movies again.

Having a smoking "section" is like having a "peeing section" in a swimming pool.

If you can't go 90 minutes without a smoke, you are in danger of imminent death. You are wayyy more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, and other health problems. You probably stink within 10 feet of you. Your hair, fingers, clothes all smell like a bar.

Quit today. Even if you gain 20 lbs, it is not as unhealthy as smoking. And you won't.

I don't go to any restaurant that has a smoking section. I don't go to bars anymore for that very reason. I don't go to bingo or any casinos if there is smoking.

Only about 26% of US population still smoke. You are in the VAST minority and you are fast becoming a dinosaur. You know what happened to THEM!
No.

You couldn't contain the smoke...

The smoke would waft across the projection creating shadows on the screen.

Smoking should never, ever be allowed in theatres.
