Many European countries have placed public smoking bans in place in the last 12 months, something that is seen in many areas around the world as a global public finally sees that second-hand smoke is not only dangerous to non-smokers, but can be deadly.The European Union may have a multi nation-wide smoking ban across all countries in the Union if the European Parliament gets its way. The body has suggested just that: an EU-wide ban on smoking in the workplace. It's not "in all public places," but it's a great start.
It's estimated that over two million die in China from passive smoking, and up to 80,000 in Europe also pass away as a direct results of exposure to second-hand smoke. Progress, however, is being made in eradicating these toxic products from the environment of people who want no part of them.
