BRING BACK SMOKING AT UNIBAR - UOW

The issue

NO MORE 'BEER AND A CIGARETTE' BETWEEN CLASSES

From January 5th 2026 UOW's Unibar has fallen to the Orwellian anti-smoking policies  enforced by the administrative elite. 

 

OUR LAST SPACE HAS BEEN TAKEN. 

Unibar was until recently the only on-campus smoking area but UOW's smokophobic administration has decided UOW would be more marketable to potential students as a 100% smoke-free campus. 

 

FOR TOO LONG smokers have accepted dwindling safe spaces and encroachment onto our sacred territories by a small group of clear-breathers who can't handle others exhaling smoke. 

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR MUCH

We want one space. One space we used to have that has been STOLEN from us. Our once simple pilgrimage to Unibar for a Schooner and a Dart has become a multi-stage cross-campus hike

 

WHY BOTHER SHOWING UP?

The thought of a REFRESHING beer and CALMING cigarette has personally motivated me to come into Uni on the days I have classes. 

The thought of a REFRESHING beer and CALMING cigarette has motivated me to stay through boring lectures and mind-numbing tutorials. 

 

NOW the motivational treat after class is no longer; replaced with endless cardio walking across campus to find a little-known smoking area or secluded place seccies won't find you.

 

SIGN NOW to make you voice heard .  in the only way you can(I know you can't yell cause your throat and lungs are f-ed)
