European Union calls for EU-wide workplace smoking ban
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
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.

I think that's fabulous, I'd love to see more of that here in the U.S. It doesn't mean that if you choose to smoke you can't, but I don't want to be around it!
In addition to banning it in the workplace, I think it would be brilliant to ban it from a certain # of feet from the building itself. Then those people who don't smoke won't have to their breath to walk through a crowd of smokers who are grouped around the doorways to the building. I'm sure that smokers wouldn't like that, but it really is a downer to non-smokers to have to walk through the smog, and it can put a negative spin in the minds of visitors and potential clients who are walking in to the business establishment.

Smoking is bad for you anyway. People should give up smoking and drink green tea.

Uh-oh, another tyrannical attempt by the Evil Ones to curtail people's sacred right to kill themselves and others with cigarettes. What next?
