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 with the entry of the law into force, in places of common use (to them it is possible to include clubs, restaurants, discos other places like the listed ones) smoking will be prohibited. A compromise solution will be to equip public institutions with a purification system of air or arrange specially designated places for smoking. In addition to these restrictions, it is planned to reduce the maximum content of harmful substances in cigarettes, or 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 in the 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 its execution 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 adults and children can be present, so imagine the ban on 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.

Almost everyone knows or suspects that a non-smoker, 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 not good, to put it mildly. 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 comments of the youth that smoking, for example, in the elevator is impossible, even dangerous not only for fellow travelers, but for yourself. When the elevator stops, this situation can develop: you turned off the light, 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 banned smoking in public places, there are good reasons for this .

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

1. Protection of non-smokers;
2. Support 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 they warned smokers, no matter how they warned, they still smoke in trains, airplanes, hospitals, in playgrounds, in pavilions where children should play, and they always have an answer to all 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.
