NO starting smoking【シリーズ10-line】：迷いモンシロチョウ2010

Recognition about passive smoking problems has spread rapidly since our country was designated as nonsmoking backwater by World Health Organization.
However, it's unfortunate -or shameful that countermeasure against passive smoking problem hasn't made progress due to panjandrums' quibbling and funny surmising.
But things aren't hopeless .
In this spring, a local city office introduced a new measure against passive smoking, and aroused online pros and cons argument: You cannot use elevators for 45 minutes after you smoke while exhalation contains harmful substances.
In other words, after you smoke during lunch break, you must use stairs instead of elevators to go back to work in time.
As for this, I felt they are going too far, and it's nonsmokers with health-conscious who tend to use stairs for exercise.
But this news might remind active smokers all over our country how they are not only unwelcomed nowadays but also causing actual harm even while they aren't having tobacco -at least may I hope so?
It's nothing new that panjandrums sacrifice property and health and life of general public for profits of their own,
So if they want to appeal our country as smokers' heaven while they profess to be a developed nation, it can bring disgrace on ourselves in the world, but there is no help for it.
Under such situation, local autonomies make a new movement instead of central government

At this City Office mentioned above, smoking break has been prohibited, and smoking is allowed only during lunch break at limited space.
From worldwide views, if workers frequently suspend their work and go to smoking space, do other co-workers permit tacitly or accuse such workers for negligence?
Since most of workplaces and offices became smoke-free, it has been a source of argument whether workers should be tolerated to leave their position to smoke.
Smokers' side claim that they have right to refresh, just like everyone takes tea break and restroom break .
Nonsmokers' side claim that it's annoying if smokers suspend work frequently, and it's unfair that smokers work overtime and get overtime pay after they loaf for smoking during working hours, and besides, their smell is disgusting when they came back from smoking break .
Does anybody have some idea to settle this argument?
However, a new common knowledge came up that exhalation contains harmful substances for 45 minutes after smoking
-Since this fact has been spread by the news about new smoking rule mentioned at the beginning,
From now on, smokers must refrain from smoking at least before meeting other people
One more thing to order: They must not ride on public transportation for 45 minutes after smoking -which I experienced at rush hour recently.
Needless to say, smoking while walking is out of question -just a reminder.

In short, it's time for active smokers to face the fact that they are now under counterattack they deserve after they have been doing self-indulgence.

Last of all, a digression -last summer, I went to a firework display.
I witnessed that a child found smoking area at a corner of the site and cried out
-The translation could be " lung-cancer zone "
I was struggling to suppress laughter that how this child was too relevant, which is difficult to explain in different language.
