Brothels Ask Exemption From Smoking Ban

SYDNEY, Australia May 29, 2006 (AP)— Brothel owners in the southern state of Victoria have called for an exemption to a new ban on smoking in the workplace, saying customers like to light up after sex.

The Australian Adult Entertainment Industry has written to Victoria's health minister arguing that new laws banning smoking in bars and brothels could push prostitution back into the streets, according to a report in the Sunday Herald Sun newspaper.

"People smoke when they drink, and people smoke when they fornicate," association representative William Albon said. "These smoking laws are going to drive women back onto the streets courtesy of the health minister."

The association which represents more than half of the 87 legal brothels operating in Victoria's capital city Melbourne wants an exemption to the ban, which comes into effect in July 2007.

Hmmm... do their hotels have smoking and non-smoking rooms? Could do the same thing...

Brothels Ask Exemption From Smoking Ban

Just like similar laws here have driven people from the bars and forced them to stay at home and drink.

They banned smoking in pubs in Ireland. Originally the pub owner protested and complained it would lower there sales. Sales actually went up. This has been repeated in every city and country where they have banned smoking. It seems the number of non-smokers that stay away from bars/restaurants (sorry I have no stats on brothels) because they don't like smoke or because it makes their clothes smell or whatever, is much higher than the number of people that still smoke. These people turn out once smokers are no longer allowed to smoke in public places.

I started smoking because of peer pressure I am not going to quit for the same reason, two wrongs don't make a right.

Good man, ted, we smokers have to (cough, cough) see this to the (hack, cough,hack) very end. I hate starting something and not seeing it through (cough, cough, wheez). If smoking doesn't kill me, somthing else will. What's the dif?

Smoking banned in brothels

Fornication. What a great word.

BROTHEL owners want prostitutes and their clients exempt from smoking bans, arguing that people like to smoke after sex...

Only two other groups have applied for exemptions from the laws: the Cigar Appreciation Society, and a bar called Coco Narghil, where people smoke hookahs.

Both were unsuccessful in their attempts.

That's hookahs. Another great word.

they just did this on Ont/Que and the pub owners are crying about it ... one guy said that the non-smokers just show up, have dinner, pay their bill and leave!

can you believe the nerve of non-smokers not to linger at a table for hours!?!?!
