I have a Taser on hand if they try. It usually only takes one time though
I don't get too many smokers after that.

Oh yes . . . I even offer to set them on fire to get them started. The ones who don't even ask I move to the left side of the stage with the wet carpet and poorly grounded microphone. |

For most karaoke singers a cigarette would be the only smoking part of their performance. |

No smoking in public places in IL either so a non issue for me. |

I have an ashtray near the stage they can put their butt in and feel free to drag during song intermission. I don't prohibit smokes on stage, just try to discourage it. |

I work in a smoking bar. We don't have an actual stage, more of like a defined area of carpet that is squared off as the stage/dance floor. So there really isn't any reason for me to not allow smoking while the singers karaoke. I too keep an ashtray on my table, and most smokers either put their cig out before they start their song, or just take a drag during instrumental breaks. I'm cool with that. |

Wow. I am so used to the NY smoking laws, this subject struck me as a joke at first. I tell ya, I do NOT miss my equipment (or ME) coming home at the end of the night reeking like an ashtray. I used to have to shower before going to bed. I feel for you guys. |

If you breathe smoke into a microphone it will be amplified and even more smoke will come out of the speakers. |

I wait until after I've finished singing before huffing a tab. Or the KJ waits until I've sparked a tab before calling me inside to sing. More often the latter. |

If people breath smoke directly into the mike, I turn them up in the monitors so it blows back at them. |

no smoking in public places here so no it never comes up. now if you have smoking coming out of your speakers, I would say that you have bigger issues to deal with than whether or not a person is smoking..
