On the other side of the fence, I'm *extremely* in favor of this. I used
to suffer every time I went to a show, and my wife flat out *could not*
go to shows. She happens to be violently allergic to cigarette smoke, and
has asthma as well. I get nauseous and a bad headache.

I'm all for rock shows being *morally* unhealthy  :-)
but they shouldn't be *physically* unhealthy, unless you're going
to play in the mosh pit, or you get the bouncers after you.....
