. smoking half-banned

Nowadays, one of the most common and favourite habits is a smoking. Nicotine, which is embraced in the cigarettes, causes many problems with the respiratory tract and is a base of lung´s cancer. Recently, in many European countries was accepted the law of no smoking in the restaurants. The Slovak republic belongs to the countries which have a tendency to protect people, who do not damage their health by smoking. The law setting the new rules was passed by parliament in mid February. Now it is signed by the president and its will become effective on the April 1. According to new rules, every establishment which serves food must separate smokers from non-smoking customers by a wall. Under the new law, the entire grounds of hospital and medical complexes will be non-smoking. Also, smoking will be prohibited in official buildings, theatres, cinemas, museums and galleries. If people smoke at bus stops or on platforms, they will be penalizing. In my opinion, this rule can be considered by a step to respect non-smokers by smokers. The negatives between both sides will increase, but non-smokers are very often discriminate, e.g. smoking in open areas, squares or bus stops. In a conclusion it is important to say, that conflicts between smokers and non-smokers will last further but no smokers who hate cigarette smoke, will be protected by law.
