The Moscow News. Making a smoking section at a restaurant, as comedian George Carlin once put it, is like designating a urinating section in a swimming pool
Making a smoking section at a restaurant, as comedian George Carlin once put it, is like designating a urinating section in a swimming pool. The two are not separate, whether you like it or not. In Russia, a country where about 39 percent of people are regular smokers, coming home smelling like an ashtray has long been an accepted part of social life - but not for much longer. An anti-tobacco law which strictly limits cigarette sales, advertising and public smoking overwhelmingly passed a final reading in the State Duma last week, with 441 deputies voting for the bill and one against. It will be reviewed by the Federation Council on February 20th before going to President Putin to be signed into law. If approved, a broad number of new tobacco restrictions will take effect over the next year and a half. Beginning June 1st, 2013, there will be a ban on smoking in public areas - including government buildings, schools, universities, hospitals, sports stadiums, beaches, parks and playgrounds - plus bans on cigarette advertisements, on distribution of free samples or coupons for tobacco products and on tobacco corporate sponsorship of events. Smoking will be prohibited within 15 meters of metro, airport and train station entrances. It will be allowed at entrances to residential buildings, but only with the written consent of every building resident. Designated rooms for smoking will still be allowed at private businesses and office buildings. Sales of tobacco products will be banned at any location with a floor area smaller than 50 square meters, and sales of electronic cigarettes will be prohibited completely. Beginning June 1st, 2014, a ban on smoking in restaurants, bars, hotels, long-distance trains, ships and at all types of transport stops will also take effect.
