Are they really seriously considering health and comfort of people and visitors from abroad? I have an impression that they are obsessed with hammering out loopholes -am I overlooking something?
-Is it because many of Chamber people are men of older generation who cannot get rid of imprinting that tobacco is indispensable item as adult men? It's lamentable, but may I expect that Olympic without tobacco in Japan is pie in the sky?
Actually, there are still active smokers who cling on tobacco making excuses how they are in need of -or addicted to tobacco, and panjandrumsno better than drug dealersselling tobacco for the sake of tax income. Whatever... while the whole society is waiting for people gradually be wiser never to dabble in smoking, I'd like to request those three things:
What they must crack down on first are street smoking and littering cigarette butts.
Considering current situation in our country, I'm concerned that if smokingindooris regulated too tightly now, more smokers smokeoutdoor. To active smokers who cling on tobacco with no intention to stop, I'd like to order them not to commit bodily injury and arson.
If you intentionally belch noxious gas and irritant gas like lachrymatory gas in public, you are accused as bodily injury or something like that, aren't you? What about tobacco smoke? What is the difference? Smokers who puff on cigarettes in front of shop and building entrances and by the roadside, can any of you answer this artless -or maybe childish question? -Then some of them might talk back that what about automobile exhaust, then I might ask them back to learn the difference of smoke-free and smoke freely.
2.If smoking rule is up to each restaurant and hotel and other facilities, They must indicate their smoking rule clearly so that anyone can distinguish before stepping into places; for example, with unified labels. If they are separating smoking areas, they must divide completely. If tobacco smoke from smoking seat flow into nonsmoking seat, it's practically smoking places. For several times, I've tried stepping into small eating houses and found the place smoky and turned back and left. To restaurants and facilities side, I'd like to ask them to consider which is really better for visitors in the long run. Not only for visitors, but also for workers. eating houses with smoking seats should hire only smokers

As I was grappling with today's composition, I felt like adding two more things: ・I suppose that the beginning of this series of argument over curbing secondhand smoke in public places was for Olympic game without tobacco,
It's already pointed out that the purpose -whom and what for, is wiped out from argument.
・While number of smokers and places people can smoke freely is decreasing undoubtedly, And there might be smokers with good manners, But still, an atmosphere exists to make us hesitate to complain against smokers. Asking for permission to smoke sounds like willy-nilly previous announcement to smoke. Why do nonsmokers, including children and expectant mothers, have to be resigned to get harmed?
Another thingI'd like to order active smokers asserting smokers' right loudly: Think why smokers are criticized behind their back that they are egocentric.
