No-Smoking Alliance in Tennessee Music Scene
Singer Jamie Kent started a coalition to ban smoking in Tennessee music venues, hoping to gain support from Metro Council.

Jamie Kent is a singer who has frequently suffered asthma attacks while performing in venues where smoking is allowed. As a result, he has launched an alliance called "Smoke-Free Tennessee Musicians", which aims to promote smoke-free music venues and bars throughout the state.


We're like a snowball, once we put it on the top of the hill, it starts rolling. Oh, the community supports us, so let's see if we can make it happen," said Kent.


Nashville could become smoke-free.


The Metro Council is set to vote on a measure on Tuesday, August 16th which would ban smoking and vaping in certain age-restricted venues such as Nashville's subway and bars. Kent hopes the measure will pass, as he and other musicians would have one less thing to worry about while performing.


Kent said, "Now this is a fair environment, it's just a relief. We have the same protections as other people in Tennessee, and we can start working without fear.
