Smoking has been banned from public places
For example, people who smoke are no longer allowed to in hotels, restaurant and inside the schools, teachers have to smoke outside if they want to. France has joined other countries which already decided to take measures against tobacco in public places.
Besides some people who don´t smoke catch cancer of the lung. because of smokers. So the purpose of this decision is to save lifes. The minister of Health has taken this decision to save lives and to reduce respiratory problems or tobbaco related diseases. ( il y a une phrase en moins parce que je n´ai pas compris )
The smokers are angry and don´t understand this decision which is « a treat against freedom ». Non-smokers say that they can go in bars without being disturbed/bothered by the smoke. So this decision don´t do unanimity.
In my opinion it is a good thing to forbid smoking in public places in order to save lives, and maybe encourage smoking people to stop. I think that we can´t see the result now but in some years, for example in Italy there are less respiratory problems.
Avec le meme plan ce que j´aurais fait.
Since last year, a law forbidding people to smoke in specific areas has been voted. This law has been totally applied since we got into 2008 for people to prepare themselves. The main points of this law are that people won´t be able to smoke in covered and closed areas, as restaurants, places which welcome underaged people, mostly schools.
This law has been applied in most french schools since last year, we could see students and teachers smoking in the streets in front of the main entrance of schools. We can see the same phenomenon near the restaurants.
When someone smokes beside you, you also smoke but not directly. When you breathe the air and all the stuffs inside it go through your respiratory system, and the smoke of tobbaco is toxic, so even though you don´t smoke until you are beside someone smoking you are also "smoking". This the main reason for people voting the banishment of smoking in public places.
There is many consequences from this law. The bars are forecasting that they will have less customers because the smokers constituted the bigger part of them. ....
un peu la flemme de continuer ^^;
