replies: text: From my experience working alongside Australian military personnel, my understanding was that they are not permitted to smoke when in uniform and active (so they can smoke when on a break if they are relaxing, but not while, say walking to the shops).

thread_title:  Smoking ban in Defence forces 

message: This page has been moved from its previous title, 'list of smoking bans in Australia', for two standard Wikipedian reasons.  The first is that of common name, as although the term 'smoking ban' continues to be used often enough in English-speaking news media, it is not the term favoured by organisations involved in forming or applying such regulations - and a colloquialism can be dealt with quite simply through a redirect and a brief mention in the introductory text.  The second, perhaps stronger reason, is to remove ambiguity; 'smoking ban' suggests prohibiting smoking per se, which with the possible exception of Bhutan is almost never attempted in reality, most smoke-free laws regulating simply where one may smoke rather than whether.  This improvement appears uncontroversial to me so I have 'been bold' and made the move - however, if it raises concerns, or if fellow Wikipedians feel the article will benefit from further discussion, this is the place to do it.Hypocaustic (talk) 16:03, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: New title

message: Hi User:Michael Bednarek and 101.160.177.75. I added back in the source for the smoking population section of the article, it is clearly labeled that these statistics are dated to 2013, and readers will be aware that statistics change over time. When new reliable-source statistics are available we can add a new source and update, but for now I believe these should be included as is (you will see the second part I have left with 'citation needed' - I think these should be deleted if no reliable source can be given).
