What about smoke machines at clubs? Are they getting rid of those as well?

(i don't mean vending machines, i mean the ones that puff out massive plumes of god-knows-what that all the breathless dancers proceed to inhale)

What clubs are you talking about? All of the clubs ive been to and worked in in Melbourne dont have designated areas...unless of course you speak of pokie venues and bars/pubs...if you dont like the smoke, get out of the kitchen!! *or something like that *

this smoke isnt nearly as bad for you as cigarette smoke, its designed not to be bad for your health, the dry ice that gets used for effects is the best, its just compressed co2

my mates that ive spoken to that are smokers are for the ban, its a small sacrifice to make not smoking for breathable air and not being stabbed by some retard that things their cigarette is a glowstick. If people want to smoke thats fine, just dont fucking impose it on everyone, if you dont like not smoking, stay home and fill your own house with smoke


Posted by pho mo on Feb-23-2005 02:21:

Yup, the ban ( I think it's being imposed in 2007? ) is good for all involved.

You guys don't have to suffer at the hands of us selfish smokers.

And as a smoker not being able to smoke in clubs/pubs is going to cut out 95% of my cigarette intake, simply because I smoke mainly when I'm pissed and I'm pissed mainly in pubs + clubs.

Last time I was there a security guy told me to put it out, even tho it's an outside platform? Maybe he just wanted to be a prick.


Posted by Aesthetic on Feb-23-2005 21:59:

yeah but the smoke adds a healthy 25% of the fun factor.

It's true...

The introduction of the new laws mean that from 1 March 2006 in Victoria you can't smoke in most enclosed workplaces (this includes restaurants/cafes and shopping centres) covered train platforms, bus and tram stops and at underage �music/dance� events.
From 1 July 2007 you won�t be able to smoke in any enclosed licensed premises (including gaming rooms) in Victoria.

That excuse may work for you at fabric Canada but I am not buying it for a second

The banning has worked in the U.S and it will work here. I agree that the penalties will be very severe and the clubs will do what they are told. Remember when you could smoke in Shopping centres? Oh the days of hanging at "Shoppo" trying to be a wog!

Soups I thought you quit? Have you taken up the cancer sticks again?

I smoke but I dont like cigarette smoke, or smelly hands, or smelling breath.

those reactions are normal, read the pack it says so
it will subside, just like everything else just give it a few days

Same! Everyone who smokes should have mints/chewies on standby & wash their hands regularly!

smoking was banned in Tasmanian clubs from Jan 2005 and pubs & bars from Jan 2006.

Absolutely fantastic, IMO. Having to breathe disgusting air and have my contacts dry up in my eyes is not my idea of a fun night. It's amazing how quickly you get un-used to it, when I was in Melb for NYD and people were smoking at the Metro and even in a bowling alley I was reminded of how glad I am at Tassie's new law. Sure, there are some cranky people out there, but smokers have to realise when they smoke that others around them are forced to breathe in the stale second hand smoke. A big push behind the law was to protect the health of the hospitality workes. All very well for you smokers out there to tell them to 'find another job'

Pubs have reported a decrease in bar patronage and increase in takeaway sales, but afaik club nunbers haven't changed. Now there's just a big mob of people outside smoking on the footpath.

There's now a proposed law to ban smoking in cars, especially cars with children. My mother used to get cranky at me for opening the car window (to let her smokoe out) because she got cold or it messed up her hair. Whatever mum, I'll get more than cranky at you when you give me lung disease from all that passive smoking.


Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Feb-14-2006 02:07:

banning smoking in cars in bullshit. fuck, if they push it that far i might take it back up again.


Posted by bec on Feb-14-2006 02:10:

here's the article. Adults can choose to smoke, but they shouldn't force it on others, especially their own children..


Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Feb-14-2006 02:13:

nah, fuck that. since when is it a govt\'s right to start dictating to people things like that? govts are becoming more and more oppressive and it shits me. to be consistent theyd have to ban drinking & smoking whilst pregnant too
