New laws do not allow smoking where it used to be a normal phenomenon, so very often people have questions about where they can sit with a cigarette and not violate anything. To understand this, you need to figure out which places are banned from smoking.
No smoking areas
The law on smoking introduced new rules for cigarette lovers, and today it is forbidden to smoke in the territories of educational institutions, institutions for youth affairs, as well as in the premises of sports and physical culture.
Also, according to the anti-tobacco law that came into force, it is now prohibited to smoke in medical institutions, sanatoriums, resorts and on their territory, on trains, long-haul passenger ships, aircraft, public transport, both urban and suburban. In addition, the rules for outdoor smoking have been introduced; smoking is prohibited less than 15 meters from the premises of railway stations, river and sea ports, bus stations, airports, subways.
In addition, it is strictly forbidden to do this in the premises of transport communications.
Not so long ago, a ban was imposed on smoking in social premises, government offices, as well as at every workplace in enterprise zones, in elevators and public areas in homes. Well, one cannot fail to note such places as playgrounds, recreation areas and beach areas.
Gas stations are dangerous places for smoking; smoking is strictly prohibited on their territory.
Places where you can smoke
The question of where you can smoke worries some heavy smokers who cannot do without a cigarette for an hour.
Many rooms have designated smoking areas with ventilation. Such rooms can be located on passenger ships, outdoors in designated smoking areas, and in houses where there are isolated common areas with an installed ventilation system.
The ban on this addiction is very difficult for cafes and restaurants, because a larger percentage of visitors are addicted to smoking. Those establishments that have balconies, summer grounds, and various terraces did not fall into this category. Those establishments in which there are no such places, there is an opportunity to create them. Of course, there is a minus in these sites. Since this is an open space, in summer, when it is warm and cozy outside, such an arrangement will not cause discomfort to the visitor, but in winter, not everyone wants to freeze on the terrace with a cigarette in their mouth. However, there is a way out for the owners of such establishments: they can glaze the terrace for the winter and open it in the summer. This action will create comfort for smoking customers and not lose them.
