Yet Another Unintended Consequence of Liberalism

The nanny-state has been very busy saving people from themselves by banning smoking in private businesses.  But since the powers that be have infringed on the rights of owners, employees and patrons, a new uninteneded consequence of their ban has popped up:

As tobacco bans come into force and the air clears in Victoria’s hotels, patrons and staff are being exposed to other noxious smells at unprecedented levels.

Beer-fuelled flatulence, burps and body odour are no longer masked by cigarette smoke and some, even non-smokers, are beginning to question the merits of the ban, along with the personal hygiene of fellow patrons.

GREAT SCOTT! 

Now that the room is not filled with the deadly cigarette smoke, people can tell when someone cracks one off, or when someone’s Right Guard has left.  Did the libs think of that?  Nope.  And now, you get to smell Brayden’s stinky man-musk, worked up from grinding with Porscha on the dance floor.

“It’s terrible when they dance all night and work up a sweat. We’ve tried lavender oil in our fog machines, but even that doesn’t work,” Ms Tsamis said.

This article is from Australia, but that doesn’t mean we can let this happen here.  Write your representatives and tell them that we need cigarette smoke back before we have to suffer through a room full of beer farts.

Full Story.
