Smoking in public places

Hi partners,

My objective in the blog is to show my own opinion about social issues in our society and to get feedback about it.

Smoking in public places is one of the most important points discussed in all the places. Tobacco is introduced in our society since many years ago and actually, the governments are trying to reduce the smoke consumption.
I don’t smoke know but I smoked around ten cigarettes daily and I had some problems with health and I decided to give up it. I’m better today than few years ago, I can do sport a lot and I feel more healthy.
Since last January, the government has forbidden to smoke inside the public places like administration places, schools, hospitals, companies, etc. In fact, this change in our society has introduced a lot of profits in the companies. In these months, the health of the people has improved, the cost of the company has reduced and the productivity has increased considerably.
According to last rapport of the CNPT (National Committee of tobacco prevention), the cost of smoking is around 7.840 M € yearly. This cost is mainly produced by:

Lost of productivity: 6.000 M € because the worker has to go out side of his job and he lost time of work.
Labour absenteeism: 260.000 € because people are ill even more because they are less healthy.
Additional cost of cleaning the equipment: 1.580 M € because smoke damages the equiments and they need to clean and maintain them more.

Before having the new smoking law, every worker cost 1.500 € to the companies and now the situation has improved a lot.
