Also, i don’t think i could name 24 places in Canberra where you could buy cigarettes.

Every Woollies, Coles, Supabarn and IGA. Further, every service station, club, pub and milk bar/take away.
There, I’ve done it for you.

Pork Hunt I believe this little piggy has stayed at home too much of late and your bacon has not graced one of Canberra\’s drinking establishments in quite a while.

Vending machines are BANNED
Smoking indoors is BANNED
Smoking outdoors is BANNED or subject to strict guidelines enabling a venue to have a Designated Outdoor Smoking AREA (DOSA)
The sale of cigarettes are subject to strict guidelines and are contained behind blank cabinets not to be viewed by consumers.

So why would a licensed venue sell something that cannot be used or consumed on their premises. That doesn’t doesn’t make good business sense now does it?

These days smokers are turfed out to the fringe public areas adjoining venues and kept a bay by burly door man to ensure their fetid smoke does not affect their O2 only compatriots.

9 out of 24 (37.5%) isn’t “almost half”

Yes it is. It’s 3/8ths. That’s only one eighth away from half!

Stop being ignorant, it’s also 30/80ths, that’s a whole ten eightieths away from a half!

i’m awaiting the lawsuits from the teenage snitches in say 30 years time when the emphysema kicks in.

Its a small step from purchasing to trying ‘just one’…

Its also curious that they target just tobacco, and not alcohol or *illegal drugs*. Its almost as if it was a religious war being fought.

Aside from the fact that they wouldn’t be allowing these traitors to keep the goods, how exactly do you think they can tackle illegal drugs using children? I could maybe name a few names, but again I’m not going to. I depend on these people for the intoxicants the Government has arbitrarily decided I’m not entitled to use.

There is similar policing of alcohol sales. I’ve been in two different outlets when they’ve been assessed.

It does seem that it’s not so heavily publicised by the Gubmint.

Hmm… This statement is totally wrong, there is no legislation that allows the government to use kids to purchase alcohol, like they can with the kids.

What they aim for is breaches under the Responsible Service of Alcohol guidelines. This doesn’t require an adolescent to attempt to purchase, just someone who looks like one.

What? Do you even know what you are talking about? There is no offence for selling alcohol to someone who “looks” like they are under age, it is only an offence if they are under age.

Trust me, when it comes to this topic I am an expert, so half baked ideas aren’t going to get you any where.

You will find they can only target tobacco because of current legislation.
