Hi there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems many bars now have an exemption to the non-smoking legislation (not that I've read it).

How about we put together a list of non-smoking bars in Hong Kong? Please put them as a reply to this thread, and I'll collate at a later date.

I do not know of any yet, but I went to Delaney's in TST tonight and they feebly attempted to provide a non-smoking section.

Please put the names of bars up that you know (assuming such a species exists).

It's easier to do a list of the smoking bars, which are here: http://www.tobaccocontrol.gov.hk/eng...ments.html#bar

Everywhere else is non-smoking.

It's a disgrace that places that serve food have still been able to opt out of the smoking ban. It doesn't work unless it's a total ban for all establishments, when the non-smokers far out way the smokers it seems ridiculous that smoking is still acceptable at all in public places.

Please if you do know some bars put them up.

I agree, you can always deduce by looking at a list of smoking bars, but this assumes you know something about a range of bars (I only know a few names). In addition, it sounds like they might be a rare breed???

What I had in mind was a list of a few bars that people with little time could look at.

Cheers.

Mat.

Slightly off at a tangent, but can someone explain to me how that place survives as a business? I don't think I've ever seen more than about 6 people in there.

hahaha actually it used to be pretty busy when i'd go at happy hour, mainly b/c of a heavy finance crowd. guys from my broking shop made it their local for quite a while and spent loads in there...now we've all moved on b/c of the smoking ban, and their business has definitely suffered in general...

What a good idea! The list of smoking bars is pretty useless.
