Everybody knows that smoking isn’t cool.  I mean, we’ve all seen  the smokers huddled outside of office buildings, sucking cigarettes on frigid winter days.  And what about having to pay for sex?  That’s kind of something that losers do, too.

Here’s where I’m going with this. From Australia comes news that  brothel owners want an exemption to anti-smoking laws for sex workers and their clients because, they say, one thing leads to another.  Come to think of it, they just might be right.  Here’s the story:
