To smoke or not to smoke? laws that ban smoking in public places are not exactly a new idea. one of the world’s first smoking bans wasintroduced in 1575, when the roman catholic church passed a law that made it illegal to smoke in any churchin the spanish colonies of central america. in the eighteenth century, a number of german and austrian citiesalso banned smoking, not in specific locations or buildings, but anywhere in the city. some of these bans werebased on ideas about health. others were more concerned with safety. the old government building inwellington, new zealand banned smoking in the 19th century because the building was made entirely ofwood; smoking was a fire risk.in the second half of the twentieth century, campaigns began to make people aware of the health dangers ofsmoking, and the concept of passive smoking – or breathing other people’s smoke – became a widespreadconcern. as a result, governments passed laws in the 1970s to control the use of tobacco, and restaurants andother public places began to create smoking and non-smoking sections. but it wasn’t until the late 1990s thatpublic smoking bans became widespread. california led the way in the us when it became the first us state toprohibit smoking in all public places in 1998. by 2010, nearly eighty percent of american states hadintroduced smoking bans. elsewhere, ventilation systems were installed in public places, and smokers’lounges were created as alternatives to complete bans.not everyone is happy about the introduction of smoking bans. not surprisingly, tobacco companies,restaurants and bars are concerned about losing business because of the new restrictions. smokers oftencomplain that by limiting the places where they can smoke, smoking bans unfairly limit their freedom. plus, itis difficult to break the habit and give up smoking. but nowadays most people accept the overwhelmingscientific evidence that smoking harms our health and can cause lung and heart disease. furthermore, researchshows that smoking bans have resulted in a reduction in smoking-related diseases and deaths. we shall have tosee whether in the future every country in the world will follow suit and impose bans on smoking in publicplaces.1 one of the earliest anti-smoking laws prohibited smokinga anywhere in central american cities.b in wooden churches around the world.c in churches in mexico and other spanish colonies.d in spanish colonies around the world.2 in modern times laws about smoking were introduced becausea smokers wanted special areas to smoke in.b governments wanted to publicise the health dangers of smoking.c of fears about second-hand smoke.d more and more people started smoking.3 the smoking ban in california was important becausea it set an example for other us states.b it made use of ventilation technology.c it wasn’t possible to smoke in 80% of public places.d restaurants had to create smokers’ lounges.54 many smokers feel thata it is difficult to prove that smoking has a negative effect on health.b it is impossible to change people’s habits.c they are not consulted about anti-smoking laws.d people should be free to choose where they want to smoke.5 according to research, smoking bansa will be imposed in all countries in the future.b are most effective in public places.c make it easier to stop smoking.d have had a positive effect on people’s health
