There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke. The smoky air in most restaurants and bars across Kyiv (capital of Ukraine) could clear up very soon, since lawmakers promised to introduce a set of measures next year to encourage public venues to limit smoking only to closed-off areas.

The decision to clear up the air in Kyiv’s restaurants – the majority of which now permit smoking – has been hailed by non-smokers and anti-smoking groups.

But experts say that the measure falls short. Health officials say that only a complete ban on indoor smoking in public places can prevent the damage caused by inhaling second-hand smoke, a major cause of disease and premature death for non-smokers. The medical consensus is that there is no safe level of exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke.

In addition, many countries that have implemented stringent indoor anti-smoking policies believe that they are effective and positive for public health, while not hurting businesses. Smokers tend to adjust to the ban and even smoke less, which according to the surveys they are willing to do anyway.

The latest recommendation for separate smoking sections is totally optional, admitted Oleksandr Brihinets, head of department of culture and tourism in the Kyiv City Council and one of the authors of the measure.

He said that venues which don’t permit smoking would use special signs as an advert of their policy, and suggested that such establishments would be included in the official list of places recommended to visit by tourists. The owners of such businesses would as well receive particular benefits from the city council. For example, large neon billboards would not be regarded as advertisements, as they will be for all other venues from 2011, helping to save thousands of hryvnias (local currency) in payments to the city council, Brihinets added. Other proposals related to these recommendations are being considered.

In addition, the ban on smoking in indoor public place could even help restaurants by attracting non-smoking customers who are scared away from restaurants in attempt to protect their helath from exposure to tobacco smoke.

Fabienne Labe, a 40-year-old scientist from France, who dined in one of the restaurants in Kyiv, said that the majority of people seek to get smokers light up outside.

“In France smoking we have a full fledged ban on smoking in public places and this is great,” she admitted. “French people are pleased with the ordinance, even if they smoke. It is bad when somebody is smoking near to you, and moreover, you might come with children and they would be also exposed to cigarette smoke.”

Most Europeans are of the same opinion as Ms. Labe. In conformity with a survey carried out by the European Commission, more than 70 percent of the residents of European Union member-countries back the ban on smoking in enclosed public venues.

Several European countries, such as Ireland, France and the United Kingdom have already implemented smoking bans and the EU are considering an EU-wide prohibition.

However, the recommendation in Kyiv has met criticism from restaurant and bar owners, who said that almost a half of all their visitors are smokers, so they should have their freedom of chice as well.

Affirmative Action – Benefits Overweighing Costs

Affirmative action, an inherently ethical policy, is, paradoxically, a subject of ethical controversy. The intent of affirmative action is the elimination of discrimination against minority groups through the extension of educational and employment opportunities which would have otherwise been unavailable to them. Although the implementation of affirmative action may entail discrimination, it is justified in terms of its intent and outcomes.

We all think that the air outside is much polluted containing so many harmful impurities and on the other hand we are very safe inside our houses. Well friends it’s a myth that the indoor air is very safe and healthy for us. Mostly the IAQ (indoor air quality) is taken for granted and not taken care of. As said by Mike Tringale, the Vice President of External Affairs at the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, “A growing body of scientific evidence shows that the air inside our homes can contain more allergens and pollutants than the air outside. The month of May is celebrated as asthma and allergy day for the obvious reason of extreme weather. Let’s get some details of the indoor air. The indoor air can be divided into four main parts- particles, smoke, chemical, biological. All four parts are some or the other way responsible for allergies but particles and biological part come out to be the main reasons for various allergies. The most common allergens in the particle type are pollen, dust and dander. These are very small particles that can’t be seen by our naked eyes. They may be invisible and appear just an inconvenience for most of us but dangerous for those who have allergy from particles. It gives way to allergies, asthma and some serious health problems and affects our respiratory system adversely. It can be only prevented by keeping your house dust free by cleaning and vacuuming on a regular basis. Other important reason for allergies is biological group of the indoor air quality. The biological group consists of mold and fungi spores, germs, and bacteria. The mold and bacteria may cause various allergies and at the same time some respiratory problems. The molds are very common allergen in humid and damp areas. For example-a student of junior school was doing great in academics and was a scholarship holder. Suddenly after few days his asthma problem increased and his performance started deteriorating. No one could understand the reason but once he changed the school he was back to normal. His parents asked principal to make a check of the class room. While doing that it was found that there was mold in the crevices in the benches which caused the entire problem. To remove it, good air purifiers especially those with UV effect should be used in the houses. The UV rays destroy the DNA and kill the mold. The smoke from chimneys or from cigarette consists of many harmful chemicals. These chemicals act as allergens and are very harmful if inhaled specifically for those who are allergic to it. Allergies from a particular chemical may be very injurious to health. Therefore inhalation of smoke in any form should be avoided because sometimes we ourselves don’t know what chemical are we allergic to till we face the consequences. To remove it we should use air purifiers with heap and activated carbon filters. As a conclusion we know that to avoid all kinds of allergies proper air purifiers and filters should be placed in our houses as prevention is better than cure.
