For the Smokers

McLaren Vale - Southern Vales - Australia.

We drove down to McLaren Vale because Dick wanted to visit the Big Mens Clothing
shop that he likes - because someone will serve him and help with choices.
We parked in the pub's carpark across the road and had a meal first because it was
raining, and I took this photo looking out at the next door winery
where the pub has an area for smokers. A law in Australia bans smoking where
food is consumed, hence the need for restaurants/hotels etc to have a space
for those who still need to smoke.

A nice area for the smokers. Germany still allows outside smoking in "beer gardens" too. I am glad that at least the inside of restaurants are smoke free. V

Very nice shot and interesting to learn you laws regarding smoking. It's difficult here to find areas that permit smoking and cigarettes are about $9.00 per pack. (They were 50 cents or less when I smoked). "V"

Banned in France (most of Europe too) but in shops the staff can smoke immediately outside the doors and so the fumes drift in....

This is a very nice looking place.

Happy smokers, this is such a nice area. I like the photo Yvonne!
Same here in Switzerland, it's prohibited to smoke in restaurants, bars and so on...
I quit smoking in January last year and I am very happy I did it.

Beautiful image Von...Smoking is not allowed in restaurants in or outside in Sweden...in fact they are trying to ban it altogether...if they didn’t sell them no one could smoke(except for wacky baccy of course)...but no the government want the extortionate taxes from the sales...BV

It's been that long since I saw anyone smoking I've forgotten it used to happen. I remember they were sure it was going to impact pubs and clubs when it was banned, but I'm sure it's had the opposite effect as our food culture and dining out is huge. They don't seem to be rushing to get out there. :)
