Smoking at Work (November 05)
The
consultation period for the new smoking at work regulations mentioned
in the news bulletin below has expired. There were 65000 responses to
the section dealing with smoking. 60000 were against the exemptions to
the regulation and about 5000 in favour, so the 5000 won, now there is
democracy in action. So premises that are licensed and do not serve
food, (the definition of food is yet to be invented) can allow their
patrons to smoke and all other workplaces cannot. These regulations
will be in force earlier than planned in summer 2007.
