Do smoking bans really work?The WA government has introduced legislation banning smoking within hotel/motel pub walls. This is in line with other states in Australia.
If smoking is so bad why not make it illegal..Wouldnt be the $$$$ would it..of course it would. Token efforts wont stop people smoking.Oh if you want to smoke inside a drinking venue you can go to the ;''international room'' at the Burswood casino
or jail.

SMOKING will be banned outside all WA government buildings, including hospitals, courts and police stations.
The State Government also is considering extending the ban to privately owned commercial buildings.
Premier Geoff Gallop is expected to announce the tough new regulations today as part of a major package of smoking reforms.
It is understood that the package also may include a timetable for a smoking ban in pubs and clubs.
Will this mean no more smoking in jail?Lets see the '' prisoners freedoms posters '' views.
The State Government also will undertake a report in July next year to look at ways of reducing smoking in prisons and psychiatric institutions, where rates are high.
Lets see how long before the first riot.
My pesonal view is you either ban it or leave it ..none of this halfway measures to show you are a commitd caring Government.
