Status : Offline | What a load of rubbish! If the men want the sex in a bed they'll pay for the brothel and they'll smoke when they walk out of the building. As for whether women will go back to having sex in the back alleys so their clients can smoke is highly unlikely....
Why should the sex worker be exposed to his smoke? My guess is the brothel want to encourage the men to linger (maybe they sell booze and cigarettes too?) or maybe they lose their customers BEFORE the appointment as the chaps step outside for a smoke and don't walk back in again.
Once the act is over why would the brothel want to encourage the fellow to sit on the bed stinking the room out? Just creates more rubbish they have to clean up for the next client.
Bar workers are entitled to the same clean air protection that the rest of us are. I wonder what percentage of clients have requested this?

Probably.

I doubt they make as much than they would with another client.

Good point.
I have no idea what their motives are--I just thought it was a humorous article.

I've never been to a brothel, but I've always adopted the good old saying that says the three best things in life are a drink before and a cigarette afterwards...

Out here they put pictures of diseased organs on the packets but some enterprising soul has started selling fancy covers for your cigarette packets in your footy team's colours! Great one.

Ugh. I don't like smoking either but diseased organs on the package? That's a bit much to me. Smokers aren't the only ones who can see the cigarette packs, and I really don't need to see a diseased black lung when I stop at 7/11 for a soda and bag of Sun chips....

I think it's important every customer knows what he/she is REALLY buying. Previously, cigarettes used to have pictures of palm trees and nice beaches on them or snow capped mountains.
Tobacco is not a food product. It's poison. There is no good reason to smoke. It's a pity they don't have to list all the ingredients but if they did that, there'd be no room for the ugly pictures and the warnings!
I grew up with a chain smoking father. I have seen first hand all the consequences that his addiction has had on his health - and he gave up smoking in his 40s after his third heart attack.

| Deleted User | I don't think anyone is fooled these days. I see it as a scare tactic used on kids, who have already been told that smoking is bad for you, but need to be more acutley aware of the mortality involved. So I guess I support that campaign
But if you've ever been a smoker, you really don't go very far without realizing that it's not healthy. "Whoa, I was really hackin' it up this morning."
