Why don't they just fucking well ban cigarettes altogether?

A SOUTH Australian government taskforce has recommended smoking be banned in all bars, gaming areas, nightclubs and dining venues within two years.
The report from the Hospitality Smoke-free Taskforce says the ban should come into effect on March 1, 2005.
It also suggests 50 per cent of the area of al fresco venues be included and calls for a comprehensive community and industry education program.
The only exemption to the widespread ban would be the high rollers' room at the Adelaide Casino.

Right on. Because if someone can afford to get in there, obviously they're someone the government should be keeping on side. Fuck the ordinary mug punters, we don't want to offend someone like Kerry Packer by telling him he can't smoke...
