SYDNEY, Australia - Brothel owners in the southern state of Victoria have called for an exemption to a new ban on smoking in the workplace, saying customers like to light up after sex.

The Australian Adult Entertainment Industry has written to Victoria's health minister arguing that new laws banning smoking in bars and brothels could push prostitution back into the streets, according to a report in the Sunday Herald Sun newspaper.

"Do you smoke after sex"?

"Not sure, I've never looked."

It's OK to have sex with strangers, even pay for sex with somebody that has had sex with ??? number of people, so there's certainly a risk of contracting HIV and/or other SIDs, but don't you dare smoke while you're at it. That could be dangerous to your health.

Hilarious stuff.

Damn! Then they would be chastised with the label "street walkers".

Is it possible to just have a relaxing "tobacco chew" after sex?

I s'pose it wouldn't look good in the movies.....

A geat mystery among historians is why seventeenth century Englishmen didn't give brothels the same Privileges as Parliament.

No smoking in a whorehouse? That's like saying you can't break wind in an outhouse!

"...new laws banning smoking in bars and brothels could push prostitution back into the streets..."

Right where it belongs, down there in the gutter with those terrible, rotten, no good, second-hand-smoke child abusing, addicted, cheating, tax evading, medical dollar wasting, anything for a toke, consequences be d@mned, SMOKERS!

Bet more people have died from "Secondhand Stroke" then from "Secondhand Smoke" anyway

"People smoke when they drink, and people smoke when they fornicate," association representative William Albon said.

When they fornicate? After, maybe... but during? If nothing else, wouldn't that run the risk of accidental burns?

Dang! And I thought I was getting so good at remembering all of the emotional and lacking-in-fact highlights. *SHRUGS* Oh, well. I'm sure a few 'antis' will be along soon enough to add more of their vast insight to this thread recommending what's best for all of us and that we do it "for the children." ;)

They especially love to correct me; a non-smoker who stands up for the rights of smokers. They just can't seem to wrap their brain around that one. :)

Same here.... I've never smoked a single cigarette.

The only thing my step-daughter has ever done that disappointed me was get involved with the anti-cigarette group, Truth. I guess she had to rebel in some way.

This sounds kind of like the Mafia asking permission from the State of New Jersey to use hollow point bullets to minimize collateral damage when hits.
