Stevia smoke free

[Guest guest]

In Scotland the law only came into effect yesterday so heaven only

knows how it will go. It is now illegal to smoke in any public

building (except prisons) and I believe also in certain covered bus

shelters. I believe that individuals will be fined £50 (about $85)

for breaking the law and building proprietors £200 ($340) for

allowing people to smoke. It does mean that there are many more

groups of people hanging around outside buildings having a smoke,

which is a bit miserable on a day like today with driving rain. Many

of the smokers I have spoken to were being quite philosophical about

it and hoping to use it as an aid to quitting.

Christie and Beth,

I recently spoke with a health dept. rep. and he stated to me that

they seldom if ever have a problem enforcing the non-smoking laws in

our city. No smoking here in any public place, even the city and

county jails. A smoker must smoke in designated smoking areas outside

a building at least 20 ft. from a public walkway or store entrance.

This smoking ordinance has been in affect for over a year. Many other

Co. cities are *smoke free* and our entire state will soon be.

It is so nice to go into a restaurant and not breathe second hand

smoke. Things are changing for the better.
