Well you know what, you just may have to do that - when the law comes into effect and if Metro don't restrict smoking inside, the staff have a right to sue. And it won't be good for any of us if Metro goes out of business. ;) kitazawa: you’re right – a lot of governments still get a hefty cut form ciggie taxes.

The lucky thing is I am in Thailand and it will definitely take sometime before the freaking rule affects here. If they authority hates it sooo much, why don't they learn from (I forgotten which country) to totally ban the import of tobacco ... If not it just show that they are actually not that keen on prohibiting smoking ( Hope it won't happen , Amen~) Sigh~ Poor me , poor smoker …

The trendier ones are less smoky but it doesn't matter if it's trendy or not, there'd be smokers. If you've hung out with English or Irish ppl, it's almost like a reflex action for them to have a pint of beer and a pack of ciggies in front of them. However, you tend to see more younger ppl in Asia smoking as compared to here. I don't know why that is so. Is it an image thing? Hmm. Side note: Even when I was smoking regularly, I was only doing max 2 sticks a day. It was when I was running the restaurant. It was always after work - sitting down with a cold beer and a smoke. Relax. Now more a social smoker but even then I can't really remember when was the last time I smoked - it was that long ago. I've reformed. :) starry: Oh yes. ;) Depends on which bars you go to.

I personally don't find them too smoky in perth, where as in Singapore, I've exited a bar absolutely reeking of ciggy smoke. And no, I don't smoke. is it really that ingrained a culture in clubs/pubs here?

Really? But I've never smoked in sub-zero temperatures before. :) liverpudlian/starry: Yes in general I do agree that less smoke in public places is good but it's such an ingrained culture - especially in pubs and clubs that it will make it a very difficult transition for some. liverpudlian: Smoking makes u feel even more cold?

Sounds gay, but hey it works. Less smoky places, and i think its good for everyone. People get too cold for smoking in -40 winter weather, so they quit. lol Here in canada, smoking in public places, i.e. patios, pool halls, pubs or any closed area’s prohibited.
