Anti-smoking campaigners are pushing for smoking to be banned in Australian pubs andclubs by the end of the year.
ANNE JONES, chief executive of lobby group Action on Smoking and Health, says the secondAustralian Tobacco Control Conference will make the call at an international meeting inMelbourne this week.
She says state governments should recognise the strong public support for smokefreevenues and move to protect the health of all workers in enclosed public places.
Ms JONES says the workers of Australia need an end point, with no excuses and no exemptions.
About 350 local and international delegates are expected to attend the three-day conference,which starts tomorrow.
