Our World

In our second block class today the discussion, thanks to Bugsy, came up about anti-smoking laws. I find that really interesting because I would love for there to be no smoking in all restaurants around the United States. I found this site http://www.howtolaw.co.nz/html/ml290.asp, which my link will not work for, and it explains the changes made to smoke free laws. SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENTS ACT 1990 places restrictions on smoking in public, on smoking in the workplace and on sales of cigarettes and tobacco to under-18s, but some of the most important changes came in the act of 2003. It explains how it's illegal to give cigarettes to minors, ban from smoking in schools, and indoor workplaces. Also on this site it explains the deal with cigarettes with teens, cigarette advertising, and smoking in public. It is interesting to see all the different criteria for different aspects of smoking.
