This weekend marked the final opportunity to smoke in a public bar in New South Wales. I'm happy to announce that all my socialising will now be free of passive smoke.
Welcome to the club, NSW. Carpe Dinkum trivia of the week: did you know that I've lived in both the first country to ban smoking, and the first country to enforce its smoking ban? Slacker Irish law enforcement allowed NZ to steal its thunder :)
Hmm... Looks like I was a little over entheusiastic with this post. It turns out that the smoking ban only kicks in on July the second. Never mind one more fortnight of smoke and then a lifetime of fragrent air.

And it gives ou the perfect oppurtunity to show of that photo...
Which I happend to know is NOT tobbaco smoke.
All true, Mr. Root.
It's actually incense, which is easier to control and doesn't lead to passive smoking by the photographer.
