Roll on the 10th December Smokefree bars

[White trash]

Go visit my mate Nick (bloody nice guy) currently recovering from a bloody lung transplant because of fuggin' smoking. 5 minutes with him will change your mind I can assure you!

Ahhh come on Paul, you can do better than that. My dad once took me to see one of his mates who had a broken back from over rotating a particularly fast wheelie.

Good one Dad, put me right off wheelies.

My body is a temple to beer

Mine too. And you definitely don't bore the Trashy one, even if you do ride one of them sideways, tractory type thingees.

We were discussing this (among other things) breifly on Thursday night at the pool hall.

One of our highly (heh heh) regarded crew commented that after Dec 10, he'll be sitting upstairs watching the pool table all by himself. Go to ROQM and 90% of the patrons smoke. Playing pool and drinking beer while enjoying a couple'a packs is what I and many others do on a Thursday night. If I have to go outside and down to the street (and leave my drink inside) for a smoke, I'll simply stop going.

Was that comment made after I left ?
I am going to try and give up again on the 10th, and Jimbo's a n/s so it might just be us two sitting there ? It won't be the same without the Trashman though. I suppose at least we'll be able to get our moneys worth on the pool table instead of waiting for you others to sink some balls

You cheeky cunt!

Don't think I'll wait 'till the 10th to stop going now.

You know me - couldn't resist it.

I do have a pool table in the garage (not that it gets used), so Thursday's at my place then haha.

One thing I've read here and can't quite understand, is how does extract ventilation remove the smoke but not the carcinogens ?

I would have thought the by products of combustion (including carcinogens) would be extracted by adequate extract ventilation in the ceiling - Ive seen this at Petone Workingman's Club - the fans are that strong the smoke goes straight up and out - no smokey smell either.

[Skyryder]

Whats all this namby-pamby shit about?
You non-smokin pricks should be paying the tax on my smokes if your breathing it in so much.
They're my carcenogeny thingamees and if anyones gonna get lung cancer it should be me, after all i've paid good money for it!
So anyway i think it's a good thing so we don't share our smokes with these whinging, self righteus, my-bodies-a-temple type arseholes, they bore the shit outta me anyway

Lots of love
Chris

So when I am drinking it's all aright for me to come over to your table and piss all over your hair and cloths. Yea Right.

You opening yourself right up with that one Skyrider....

[StoneChucker]

I'm sure the ban allows you to have completely separate, sealed or contained areas for smoking? Like at Sydney airport, there is a smoko room. It's completely sealed, has two sets of doors, and you can obviously smoke in there, but nowhere else.

So, wouldn't bars just have completely separate areas? I really think though, that if cigarettes were completely banned, yes there would be ALOT of mumbling, but when people got over their nicotine addictions, they would feel a whole lot better, AND, have a whole lot more extra cash, to pimp out their bikes , or save, or whatever. I've tried smoking, I just can't see what the point is, they're bloody expensive, they taste terrible and they're carcinogenic.

Oh, when I'm out drinking, after a certain point if you offer me a smoke, I'll take it so I'm a hypocrite.

Dave.

PS: Don't offer me smokes when I'm drinking

You wanna see a strong extraction fan?...Check out the one in the James Cook Hotel Staff lunch area. Ooooh-wee that thing ventilates.

As far as I'm aware, the reason the carcinogens don't leave with the smoke and the smell is because of the density of the chemical oppossed to the gaseous smoke. Another idea is that the carciogens have already made contact to the clothes and other surfaces....I dunno, but it almost sounds right donnit

I would have thought that the carcinogens would be bound in the smoke particles - the smoke at PWMC goes straight to the ceiling extractors. They must be pretty strong - watch out for ya toupee.

I don't think that's the same deal as passive smoking, dude.

Anyway, I'm sure you'd piss all over your pants before you got around to pissing on anything else.



Even though I'm a half-arsed smoker ( I only smoke at work, and when I'm drinking) I'm all for no smoking in bars. But they should be placing ashtrays outside for the smokers to get rid of their butts.

Most chicks that smoke do so to get rid of their butts (or so I'm told)

reckon this law will be commercial suicide... i get to speak to bar owners/managers a fair bit at work...and they're shittin bricks!

People have said the same thing in New York and California, but it didn't turn to custard there.

I'm sure it'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy for a few.

That wont happen.... look at the tax the gubmint would lose!
lets see.... my rollies cost 27.60 a packet... duty free I can get 5 packets for $50......

[Stinger]

The thing that I dislike most about smokers in enclosed spaces isn't the smoke, it's the fact that they've got a lit little burny thing that's being waved around....

when you go out and you're wearing a nice shirt you have to be so careful that as you walk past they don't burn holes in your clothes.

ahem...I don't have a toupee....*cough*

You know that brings a up a good point...They would be bound to the smoke particles wouldn't they....I'm gonna look that up. I do know however that extractor fans have filters to clean the air before it hits the outside....It seems to me that smoking inside with extractor fans would be healthier for all (besides not smoking) than standing outside smoking.


BTW Overseas didn't cut out cigar bars too did they? I'm pretty sure that california and NY would still have them, even if it is no smoking in bars. :spudwhat:

I think the laws going through these days are just plain silly. Good ideas without intellectual follow through. What about the law passed letting 18 year olds buy alcohol. Personally I think they shouldn't have done this, but to change it back again...That's just stupid!!

I don't vote. Maybe I should. But it's hard to choose between Idiots A and Idiots B... They've lost the plot somewhere along the line. I think we need a government overthrow for a couple of months and start again.
