If you’re a smoker still smarting over the ban on lighting up in District bars, fear not — a Cleveland Park watering hole is now your refuge.

According to the AP via WJLA, the District has granted its first exemption to the 10-month-old smoking ban, with the prize going to Aroma in Cleveland Park. The bar, which sells cigars and claimed a loss of 20 percent in the six months after the ban was imposed, had to submit records to prove that the downturn hadn’t been caused by other factors. The ban, which was originally endorsed by the D.C. Council in December 2005, allows bars that lose 15 percent of their business to apply for an economic hardship waiver.

Does Aroma’s exemption prove the fear that the smoking ban will lead to a general loss of business for District bars? Not really. The bar’s owners, who also operate Bedrock Billiards, Atomic Billiards, Buffalo Billiards and Mackey’s Pub, note that business at the latter two is actually up. Some bar owners have reported lower sales, though others seem to be doing just fine.

We do find it amusing, though, that one of the few bars where people will be able to smoke is called Aroma. After all, one of the most common complaints of many smoking ban supporters was that they hated the post-night out cigarette aroma on their clothes.
