More recently, smoking in public places has been banned in France - in particular in Paris. From this article we learn how things are in our country.
There is a rumor among the people that with the entry into force of the law, in public places (these include clubs, restaurants, discos and other places like these) smoking will be prohibited. A compromise solution will be to equip public institutions with an air purification system or to equip smoking areas specially designated for smoking. In addition to these restrictions, it is planned to reduce the maximum content of harmful substances in cigarettes, and more precisely - nicotine and resins. Every tenth pack should contain a message about the dangers of smoking.
It is also planned to introduce a ban on smoking in the entrances of residential buildings and frequently visited establishments. Yes, you can agree with that. 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 to enter or exit - at this time smoke seeps into the apartment.
The law is already in full force, and its implementation is not yet in sight. Still, in most institutions there are no separate places for cigarette lovers. If they exist, then purely formally. A family who, for example, comes to a restaurant to rest, should inhale nicotine smoke. There are such public places where both adults and children can be present - so imagine that there is a ban on smoking in public places, and the kids come from such a cafe, completely smelled of tobacco smoke. Moreover, there is a zone for smokers.
Almost everyone knows or suspects that a non-smoker, being in the same room with smokers, receives the same dose of nicotine as a smoker. So, 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 still continue to smoke at work, in the porch, in cafes and restaurants. You can still list a number of public places for a long time. No matter how many young people make comments, smoking is prohibited, for example, in an elevator, it’s even dangerous not only for travel companions, but also for oneself. When the elevator stops, the following situation may occur: they 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 it’s impossible to breathe, and it is not known how many people are here - this is a dangerous situation fraught with bad consequences. No wonder they 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 restrict smoking.
- Protection of citizens who do not use smoking tools;
- Helping smokers quit this bad habit;
- Improving working conditions and, consequently, increasing productivity;
- Reducing damage caused by smoke, ash and fire.
These four reasons should prove that it is time to stop smoking in public places.
No matter how warned smokers, no matter how warned, they still smoke in trains, planes, hospitals, playgrounds, in gazebos where children should play, and they always have an answer to all questions. Say, motor transport harms health more than a cigarette, but nobody drives cars specifically and does not start the engine so that others breathe exhaust gases . Being present in such a situation, smokers themselves will probably be 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.
