The recent resolution by Lambton County council to approve the proposed Smoke-Free Outdoor Places ordinance is a laudable decision. There is an important scientific evidence and public support to show that such a regulation would positively affect the health of Lambton inhabitants. Tobacco smoke is moderate in outdoor places. Evidence demonstrating detectable exposure has been found by scientists at Stanford University. Their data conclude that tobacco smoke concentrations near smokers can rival indoor tobacco smoke concentrations. Further, study by the University of Waterloo found that cig smoke can be found even at nine meters from a lit cigarette.

A Norwegian court has maintained a ban on the display of tobacco products in shops, handing a defeat Friday to the Philip Morris tobacco company. Norway, which has had a prohibition on cigarette and alcohol promotion since 1975, in 2010 prohibited even the display of smoking products at their point of sale. Stores must keep cigs in unmarked cabinets or special vending machines with no visible logos. Clients wishing to purchase tobacco must actively ask merchants for it.

Experts in south China’s Yunnan province, where a recent earthquake required at least 81 lives, now plan to sell 400,000 cartons of cigs in order to increase tax income to spend on quake relief, a Chinese daily argued. According to the state-run Global Times daily, China has become the world’s largest cigarettes manufacturer and tobacco consumer, with more than 300 million smokers. It is considered that deaths in China from smoking habit will exceed three million annually by 2050.
