Hello All, Does anyone know when smoking was banned in American movie theatres? Was it done on a chain by chain, theatre by theatre basis, or was it a general policy? Has anything been written on smoking regulation within theatre space? (All my efforts to research historical smoking bans were undone by the overwhelming number of popular/social science reports on diegetic/narrative smoking's effects on kid/teen viewers. Blerg.) Please respond directly to [log in to unmask] Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
