In California they actually do, but they are are difficult to keep up.
You have to have several large building hepa filtered air conditioners to not discharge the exhaled smoke into the atmosphere. From what I understand, these are the same kind of air filters Navy subs use--so they are not cheap.
Secondly, you have to have medical waivers and increased disability insurance for all your workers. And another tag line for patrons so they cannot sue you for endangering their lives.
Then if there is alcohol served, you have to have security personnel to verify that everyone is a legal adult.
And if you serve food, then you are under the laws of public health inspection.
It just gets too cost ineffective to run these joints.
That's why most of them moved to Vegas, Florida and New Orleans--pre-Katrina.
These same rules do not apply for Cannabis Clubs in California--their run like wine bars...
