lol the smoking Nazi's have booted us out of just about every establishment now we are being stalked by the non smokers and its suddenly discrimination

[Madame Dufarge]

Could you imagine being told you must be a smoker to use a particular area of a club?" he said.

The anti-smokers have been shrieking about second-hand smoke death rays for years now.

Am I to understand that they now want to voluntarily go amongst the smoking lepers?

What about the effects of second-hand whining and moaning on the smokers? Don't they deserve to be "protected" too?

The concept of a two-way street is apparently too difficult for the Nazis to assimilate.

The dangers of secondhand fresh air, I suppose.

>>>>Some councils are forcing licensed venues to hire bouncers to enforce the bans, costing tens of thousands of dollars a year, while preventing non-smokers from using outdoor areas.<<<<

This nugget here is very understated.

All these NGO funded programs come with agents to enforce the NGO funded rules (READ: UN!) or requirements to hire them.

These NGO funded enforcers are trained to implement UN law.

This is a transcribed flyer of a law office near my home.

They train enforcers of the Animal Task Force laws:

The Food Program being implemented into all our schools that receive federal funds brings with it enforcing agents of this program and a FOIA that releases our children's data to the grantor.


I wish people will stop focusing on the 'smoking vs. non smoking' parts and start looking at the force that is making these laws and rules. Smoking is only ONE focus area of Healthy People 2010. There are 28 focus areas with numerous sub categories to them.

We are under UN rule people. WHY and how do we stop it?

ROTFLMAOAPMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Careful She-lion. I smell a trap.

Either this is satire, or it's a devilish new tactic being attempted by the anti-smoking gestapo.

If serving of food or drink is not allowed in the outdoor area, it impacts the utility of the area and the premises' profit.
Further, by defining "smoking" as having a lit cigarette going continuously (an absurd definition), it impacts everyone smoker and non-smoker alike.

Don't know about Australia, but in the U.S. that is clearly within the no-no actions of any authority: arbitrary and capricious,.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

I hope this starts a trend worldwide and yes,non-smokers should be discriminated against!Non-smokers are just a bunch of mentally disturbed health freaks.Businesses for smokers only would be a real slap in their arrogant,da*n little faces.

[cripplecreek]

NON-SMOKERS are being banned from drinking in outdoor smoking areas in pubs and clubs under draconian council rules.

Oh the horror.

[Androcles]

I know where my tourist dollars are going next Easter!

[Moonman62]

The council document goes on to say, "there shall be no bar service or consumption of food within the terrace".

I think you've been tricked by some sensational editorializing.

Us non-smokers could care less if we've been banned from a smoking area in any case.

Congratulations to those councils it's about time! The smoker has been discriminated against for years now the shoe is on the other foot.

I don't see this as intended to discriminate against non-smokers so much as smokers are now being forced to be separated from their non smoking friends even when their friends don't mind being around second hand smoke.

It looks like the smoking nazis can not tolerate it that any non smoker might actually choose to go outside to visit with their smoking friend.

Musn't allow even a hint of tolerance towards smokers.

[Eastbound]

Moth, meet Flame! BZZZZT!

[JamesP81]

Pretty soon, the govt will be examining your personal habits (if they aren't already) to determine how much taxes in social security you'll have to pay for health care down the road that you won't receive because social security will be bankrupt by then.

What many otherwise intelligent people here don't seem to understand is that there is no end to this nanny statism if we don't draw a line somewhere.

[RandallFlagg]

LOL! This is beautiful!

Every, "Smoking Area," sign I see, I write in pencil:

NO
ANTI-SMOKERS
ALLOWED
(non-smokers are okay)

Looks like someone else caught on.

[MadLibDisease]

"Congratulations to those councils it's about time! The smoker has been discriminated against for years now the shoe is on the other foot."

Amen, maybe they'll learn the nanny state just starts with the smokers but eventually they'll be sticking their nose into EVERYONES business. That's why we have to make a stand now.
