Question
What is a ‘No Smoking Zone’?
Solution
Smoking does not just harm the smoker but also the people nearby, who breathe in the smoke exhaled by the smokers and are called ‘passive smokers’. Recent research has shown that concentration of second-hand tobacco smoke (the smoke exhaled by smokers) in many outdoor areas is often as high or higher than in some indoor areas and the risks posed by such outdoor exposure are well beyond generally accepted norms when large numbers of people are involuntarily exposed. Therefore, passive smokers or those who unavoidably breathe in second-hand tobacco at public places have such as lung cancer, asthma, bronchitis, and sudden infant death syndrome in children.
To save such passive smokers and discourage smokers from the ill effect of smoking in public places ‘No Smoking Zone’ has been created.
