Minnesota drinking establishments are getting round the smoking ban by declaring themselves theatres.
Drinkers are currently banned from lighting up in bars in the US state, but up to 100 establishments in the area are now taking advantage of a loophole which allows them to smoke if they are in character during a theatrical production.
Many customers in the bars, some of which feature signs including 'Stage Door', are dressing up in costume to enforce the loophole.
