Is smoking allowed in public places?

Most recently in France - in particular in Paris - banned smoking in public places. From this article we learn how things are in our country.

In the people constantly rumors that withthe entry of the law into force, in places of common use (to them may include clubs, restaurants, discos other places like those listed) smoking will be prohibited. A compromise solution will be the equipping of public institutions with the purification system of air or the arrangement of specially designated places for smoking. In addition to these restrictions, it is planned to reduce the maximum content of harmful substances in cigarettes, more precisely, nicotine and resins. On every tenth pack there should be a message about the dangers of smoking.

It is also planned to introduce a ban on smoking inthe entrances of houses and frequented institutions. Yes, you can agree with this. Who likes to breathe tobacco smoke while in their own apartment. No matter how tightly the doors are closed, from time to time they open for entry or exit - at this time smoke penetrates into the apartment.

The law is already working in full force, and itsexecution is not yet expected. Still in most establishments there are no separate places for lovers of cigarettes. If they exist, it is purely formal. A family, for example, who has come to a restaurant to relax, must inhale nicotine smoke. There are public institutions where both adults and children can be present - and imagine, the prohibition of smoking in public places exists, and the children come from such a cafe, smelling of tobacco smoke. And, a zone for smokers, there, like as, is.

Virtually everyone knows or guess thata non-smoking person, being in the same room as smokers, receives the same dose of nicotine as the smoking person. Hence, involuntarily, without knowing it, he risks his health. Most Russians agree that smoking in public places is, to put it mildly, not good. In this majority, excuse the pun, most smokers who agree with such conclusions. But they continue to smoke at work, in the entrance, in cafes and restaurants. You can still list a number of public places for a long time. How many would not make remarks of the youth that smoking, for example, in the elevator can not, even dangerous not only for fellow travelers, but for yourself. When the elevator stops, this situation can develop: you turned off the lights, you are in a closed room, a pregnant woman is going home with you; there is no light in the elevator, and even it is impossible to breathe, and how many to be here is unknown - here's a dangerous situation, fraught with bad consequences. Not in vain have banned smoking in public places, for this there are good reasons.

How to find a way out of this situation? There are several reasons why you can limit smoking.

  1. Protection of non-smoking citizens;
  2. Help for lovers of smoking in stopping this bad habit;
  3. Improvement of conditions in the workplace, and consequently, increase in productivity;
  4. Reduction of damage caused by smoke, ash and fire.

These four reasons must prove that it is time to stop smoking in public places.

No matter how conscience smokers, no matter howwarned that they still smoke in trains, planes, hospitals, in playgrounds, in pavilions where children should play, and they always have an answer to all the questions. Say, motor transport harms health more than a cigarette, but no one drives cars into a closed room specially and does not start the engine so that exhaust gases breathe surrounding. Being present in such a situation, the smokers themselves are probably the first to complain that it is difficult for them to breathe. So, before you smoke in a public place, think about the people around you.
