This non smoking rule in clubs and pubs is being phased in and will be law by 2007 in Australia. I don't smoke and I prefer to be in areas where there is no smoking but if a club or pub is willing to securely close off an area for smokers and the staff working in that area are smokers themselves then I can't see a problem there. It's the workers in the clubs who are concerned about their health and I can see their point. Must say, at my last TT visit the establishment where I stayed absolutely stunk of cigarettes and the smoke gave me the worst sinus. Was not a happy camper, I can tell you.
