Damien and I went for a drink or two this afternoon at his local hotel, the Captain Cook at Millers Point. In line with the new smoking laws in NSW, they have been allowed to dedicate a small area of the hotel to smokers. Ridiculously, the white line delineates the set aside space from the remainder of the bar. Oh, and you have to be seated… you’re not allowed to stand and smoke. Seriously.
Oh yeah, and that’s Damien’s foot.
Quite right too! Sit down, be quiet, and stay behind the white line you nasty smokers! ;)
As someone who has never smoked a cigarette in his life – not even one – I totally support a complete smoking ban. I just think it gives mixed messages to say that one area is okay in which to smoke while the other isnt. But I guess, its a step by step process…
