What, and miss out on all the office gossip?

About $12 for 25 full of all the tar you can handle, by the way.

I like to enjoy mine over a South Bank watching the joggers race to their inevitable death.

We have many colours, menthol ones too, caramel maybe ... all I know is that unless my packet is red then I might as well be sucking a tampon.

I do like the ones with ridiculous names like 'Holiday', bring back 'Death' I say.

i smoke roll ups with filters (bit like the difference between loose tea and tea bags) always say i will give up soon.
big packet of tobacco is about $25 and lasts me ages....
the organisation i work for is completly smoke free if you want to go and smoke you have to clock off work and go away from the building.
if you get caught smoking you are up for instant dismissal.......

doesn't bother me as i don't smoke at work and i'm not based in the office so really i can do what i like.. but still don't smoke at work though

i must say i feel uncomfortable smoking any where these days accept at home (and my kids make me feel uncomfortable with their disapproval at home)
must be time to give up

Hi Ameya, I smoke too

There's a few bars and pubs in Adelaide that have now got outside area's where you can still smoke. Providing it's not enclosed then it's fine. They cost about $80 for a pack of 200 - some are cheaper depending on the brand.

But if you give up then good on you (can you please tell me how you do it though as I can't do it )

...regulations vary from state to state although I'm fairly certain they pretty much all have indoor smoking bans now in public places...enforcement differs though. I've been in no smoking pubs in Sydney where the staff seem to pretty much turn a blind eye, but in Brisbane you often see patrons being marched to the door of the pub by bouncers within seconds of lighting up.

Why bother with low-tar? They're just as bad, if not worse for ya than regular.

Looks like it's just the NT where smoking in public places is not totally banned:

As many people smoke here as in the UK so you will have no problem there.
