I don't know, I never looked. That's a really, really old joke, but makes a good lead-in to this article. Brothel owners in Australia are petitioning for an exemption from an indoor smoking ban – in the interest of safety, of course.
Newspapers reported on Sunday that the Australian Adult Entertainment Industry had written to Victoria state officials seeking an exemption to laws which ban smoking in workplaces for fear they will drive prostitutes back onto the street.
"People smoke when they drink, and people smoke when they fornicate," the industry group's William Albon was quoted as saying by Australian Associated Press.
The brothel owners claim the ban may force prostitutes out onto the street, putting them in danger.
