Gestern Abend war es soweit. Der definitiv letzte Abend, an dem in Melbourner Pubs noch geraucht werden durfte. Mit dem heutigen Tag, dem 01. Juli 2007, herrscht offiziell ein generelles Rauchverbot für alle Pubs im Bundesstaat Victoria.
Bislang war es so geregelt, dass in öffentlichen Gebäuden und Restaurants nicht geraucht werden durfte und nur in Pubs mit einer speziellen Lizenz durfte geraucht werden. Doch dies ist nun Geschichte.
Die “used to be smoking pubs” celebrierten mit ihren rauchenden Gästen, gestern das Ende einer Ära. Bei “Farewell Cigarette-” und “Last Puff Parties”, mit Musik von David Bowie (Ashes to Ashes) und Oasis (Cigarettes and Alcohol), hatte man gestern als Raucher noch die Chance kurz vor Mitternacht seinen last smoke im Pub zu genießen.
Vom heutigen Tag an, werden in ganz Victoria nun die Raucher “vor die Tür gesetzt”.
Ich selbst habe vor etwa 2,5 Monaten aufgehört zu rauchen. Es fiel mir hier sicherlich wesentlich einfacher, als in Deutschland. Nicht nur weil hier die meisten meiner Freunde Nichtraucher sind, sondern weil Cafés und dergleichen eben nicht geraucht werden durfte. Also kam ich auch nicht so leicht auf die Idee unbedingt eine zu wollen.
Aber selbst jetzt, da ich nicht mehr rauche, sehe ich keinen zwingenden Grund die bisherige Regelung, die man hier in Victoria hatte, zu ändern. Wer wollte, konnte in Raucherpubs gehen und wer dazu keine Lust hatte, hatte genügend andere Alternativen.
Die Gesundheitsministerin lächelte vorhin bei einem Fernsehinterview in die Kamera und gab den Rauchern den Hinweis, dass nun mit Beginn des neuen Financial Years (das hier am 01.07. beginnt… hier ist alles verdreht in Down Under 
) für Raucher, durch diese gesetzliche Regelung, auch die Möglichkeit geschaffen wurde eine Menge Geld zu sparen.
Sprich: Ausgehen + nicht rauchen + kein Geld für Zigaretten ausgeben = Steuerersparnis
Tja wenn es so einfach wäre…
Schade nur, dass vom Bundesstaat keinerlei aktive Hilfe zur Rauchentwöhnung angeboten wird, für jene die es versuchen wollen. Da gefällt mir das Konzept das Frankreich, mit der Einführung des Rauchverbotes, anbot wesentlich besser. Firmen unterstützten mit Seminaren ihre Arbeitnehmer, der Staat bot Rauchentwöhnungsprogramme an, etc…
Bin gespannt wie es sich in Deutschland entwickeln wird!
Hier in Spanien gibt es seit letztem Jahr ja auch ein weitgehendes Rauchverbot. Allerdings können sich Kneipen und Diskos hier noch selbst entscheiden ob sie das Raucher- bzw. Nichtraucherschild raushängen.
Ich glaub in Dtld. hat die Nichtraucherlobby keine Chance. Der Druck der Industrie ist viel zu stark.
@azahar: Ich bin mir da nicht so sicher. Zum einen wird der Druck durch die Nachbarländer immer größer und zum anderen werden irgendwann die Kosten für die Behandlung von “Raucherfolgeschäden” größer, als die Einnahmen durch die Tabaksteuer. Und spätestens dann, wird sich der eine oder andere Politiker fragen, was mehr Sinn macht.
Nun ja… ein endloses Thema und jede Lobby vertritt hartnäckig ihre Position. Ich kann beide Seiten verstehen…
Das mit den Raucherparties finde ich ja cool. Ich weiß nicht, ob die hier in England auch waren, aber mir gefällt es, daß keiner mehr raucht. Wir werden jetzt öfter abends ausgehen. Normalerweise hat mir der Rauch geschadet, meine Augen u. meine Nase haben noch stundenlang getränt u. auch wenn ich nichts getrunken habe, hatte ich einen Kater am nächsten Morgen. Das hat wohl mit meinem Nierenversagen zu tun. Ich bin eigentlich froh darüber.
PS: Dein Blog hat ein tolles Outfit.
@ Netty: Danke
