dont smoke myself, but over here in Sydney they dont allow you to smoke outside if there is an awning [cant spell??] or some sort of cover as its classed as an enclosed space.....youll be hard pushed to find any open space without shaded areas.....so dont think the laws are that great for smokers here either......sorry....

Hi Pablo

 

As a smoker I can tell you that fags are very expensive in Oz and perhaps properly so. Really, seriously expensive for not very good baccy. I'd say that as a deterrent, the price in Oz is probably more effective than in the UK.

 

Cheers

, when i was there mate 20 bensons /rothmans/ was $ 9.50 and 25 winfield were $ 12.50 , when the total ban came in a lot of places had major conversians to allow smoking ie an open air patio one pub in sydney even had an atrium built so you could go in it and technically you were out side , all you need to do is drink in a bar that has a beer garden and problem solved , you jinxed us against everton pal

I buy Benson and Hedges by the carton 25 x 8 pack =$87 per carton

Works out at $10.88 each packet - buy single packets can be upto $14.00 per pack

As for Smoking - in pubs Outside is no problem but they are trying to restrict that - as well - You know the problem if your a smoker.

At least for part of the year you`re guaranteed to be outside in nice weather. Nothing worse than smoking in the pouring rain and howling wind. I keep giving up then when we`re relaxing outside in some sun I start again. -Coffee and fag - cold beer and fag, can`t not do it!!

i just dont bother going out much in winter tbh,out in it all day so cba sitting out in it all night as well, might change in oz maybe,allways preferred a drink in the afternoon tbh so its usually a bit warmer anyway,funny thing is,i wasnt against a partial ban,fair enough for the non smokers/kids etc, but i dont agree with a total ban, i just wanted to retain maybe 20%of pubs for smokers thats all i asked,but.......:arghh:

Yup - I hold my hand up to smoking.

 

I'm great at stopping,but even better at starting again:arghhxmas:

 

See your questions have been answered.

 

Most pubs build some sort of fenced off area for smoking.

 

B&H 25's are $12 locally.I smoked Purple Silk Cut in the UK - can't find em here.
