Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
'Tobacco-free'
plan for Republic of Ireland.
Health is undoubtedly
one of the most conscious issues these days. You can see numbers of
something-free signs on the shelves such as fat-free, sugar-free, sodium-free
or caffeine-free. Smoking-free is another big trend throughout the world and
Ireland is one of the leading societies to reduce smoking related diseases and
deaths. It introduced a total ban on smoking not only in workplaces but also
pubs and clubs in 2004.
Is it really reasonable
to ban something that humans have long been enjoying?
Smokers argue that
although they have higher risks to suffer smoking related diseases and eat
health care costs, they contribute the society by paying torturously high tax
on cigarettes and tobaccos.
Enjoy reading and
learning how a small island country is trying to deal with a still-popular
human habit.
