BUTT OUT

Welcome news today - from March 1st, it will be illegal to smoke in enclosed train, tram & bus stops here, as well as in the workplace.
Great news for non-smokers, especially after getting puffed on previously while waiting for public transposrt. They have also started putting graphic photos of the damage that smoking can cause on the back of each box of cigarettes on sale. However, the Australian Medical Association feels that more should be done, like extending the ban on smoking to the whole of school compunds. Guess it's a start anyway....maybe they will have smoke-free public places like in our Lion City eventually....
Hooray for cleaner air ! :-)
