Bill: Smoking Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pensioners' Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2358
Description[?]:
| Many old people are angry that they have suddenly found, in the twilight of their lives, that the local council has tried to completely prohibit smoking. They have been smoking tobacco for 50 years or more in some cases, and they feel it is too late for them to give up smoking now. These people should not be criminalised. We propose a sensible and reasonable compromise on the smoking issue instead. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy towards smoking.
Old value:: Smoking regulations are to be determined by local governments.
Current: Smoking is legal outdoors and in private homes and clubs, but illegal indoors in places of employment, with the exception of places that primarily serve liquor.
Proposed: Smoking is legal everywhere, at the discretion of the property owner. However, service/employer property owners that allow smoking must provide a separate non-smoking section.
