Smoking has been banned from all public places in Melbourne for over 6 years now, including at railway stations. And it was banned in restaurants for way longer than that. So much so, that when we flew over to London via Frankfurt in mid 2004, we got sort of nauseated in the transit lounge at Frankfurt where there were smokers everywhere, some smoking those horrible Gitanes. Even more astounding (for us, that is) was that an Indian restaurant we went to in Tower Hill then, did not have a non-smoking area.
I daresay I was a smoker in my younger days, but gave up "cold turkey" after burning up close to forty the previous day, some twenty years ago. Fortunately, there were only three of us, all smokers, who worked in that room at 170 Upper Richmond Rd, and it was darned hard effort on my part to keep away from the weed when that number was reduced to two ... Today, I cannot stand the faint drift of smoke that sometimes comes through the air-conditioning ducts, as the smokers puff away on their smoko break outside the building ... Ah well, that's life.
