pretty soon it seems that a tool that can detect ‘smoking allowed’ places will be a hot item ‘flying’ off the shelf. it seems if health authorities in bc have their way…we soon will have the following ‘smoke free places’: beaches, playing fields, and other common grounds. at this point smoking is not allowed on patios…not allowed within 3 meters from a door and within some ‘n’ meters from an intake to a building…to just name a few…now, i quit smoking a while ago…and no just in case you’re wondering i’m not planing to start again…but isn’t this perhaps a bit excessive…given that apparently in 2009…within gvrd the prevalence rate of smoking is roughly 13% (15yrs and older included). even according to some sources that are behind this movement…the decrease in smoking seems to have stabilized…
on top of that, the olympics (yes 2010 olympics) are being promoted as ‘smoke-free’…what that means – smoking will not be allowed at, in or around any olympic venues…more…the celebration sites are to be ‘smoke-free’ – yes that includes outdoor celebration sites…enjoy!
a small note on the price of tabacoo…a piece of information i had the pleasure of reading a few months ago estimated that it costs a tabacoo company roughly around $2/pack to produce…what’s the cost of a pack where you shop?
so, i ask…shouldn’t they put their efforts and our money to better use? how about a few more ‘minor’ issues…that seem to pop up rather every day?
