I am interested to know what people think about passing a law that bans smokers from smoking within 50 metres of anyone at all times. This would mean no smoking in or near a shopping centre, at work, in your car or anywhere else for that matter. The only place that smoking would be allowed would be in the privacy of your own home.
Below is a list of countries that have some major ban or another:
|
# 1 Albania # 2 Argentina # 3 Australia # 4 Belgium # 5 Bhutan # 6 Canada # 7 Czech Republic # 8 Denmark # 9 Finland # 10 France # 11 Guernsey # 12 Hong Kong # 13 Hungary # 14 Iceland # 15 Ireland # 16 Isle of Man # 17 Italy # 18 Jersey # 19 Lithuania |
# 20 Malta |
Do you think that smoking ban is realistic? We all know that it is a great law to be passed (I say this as a smoker) but will it happen in SA? Are there not more important things to consider?

I would like to see smokers limited to the privacy of their homes. Read an article again last nite said smoking kills half it’s own client base; secondary smoking is not only unhealthy but so very a-social; kids in cars seem to suffer most.
It irritates me when I wait at a traffic light to see thousands of cigarette ends on pavements and in gutters.
I would vote for absolute limitations.
