All workplaces in the following countries, including restaurants and pubs, are now smokefree:  Bhutan, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Uganda.  Sweden goes smokefree in June 2005.  Scotland and England (exempting some pubs) plan to phase in smokefree regulations over the next few years.     

“Your right to smoke stops at my lungs.”  – John Auerbach, Boston Health Commissioner

“Every employer in Britain should know by now that secondhand smoke is dangerous to the health of their employees. There is no moral excuse – and we believe no legal defence – for continuing to expose employees to such an unnecessary health and safety risk.” – Deborah Arnott, Director of ASH (Action on Smoking & Health) London

Read the op-ed on smokefree workplaces published in the April 3rd Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
