Quebec smokers are being left out in the cold, literally, by a recent provincewide ban on smoking in enclosed public places.
Not only has the new law, which came into effect May 31, forced bar and restaurant patrons outside for a cigarette, it seems some smokers are also having a hard time finding a place to live.
"There are more cases this year of people telling us they"ve been refused an apartment because they smoke," said Francois Saillant, head of Front d"action populaire en reamenagement urbain, a prominent local tenants" rights group.
Quebec"s landlord association says some of its members have suddenly become interested in inserting no-smoking clauses into their leases.
"I think it"s a result of the publicity surrounding the law preventing smoking in restaurants," said Martin Messier, president of the association. |

Millions of Chileans will now be forced to take their cigarette breaks outside because of a tough nationwide anti-smoking law that took effect Monday.
The government said the measure, which bans smoking in schools, hospitals, government offices, stadiums, buses and other public places - aims to reduce an annual rate of 14,000 tobacco-related deaths in this country of 15.5 million people.
Smoking also will be restricted in restaurants, with large eateries given until May 2007 to create fully partitioned nonsmoking sections. Smaller restaurants will be able to choose between being smoke free or upgrading their ventilation systems. . . .
The new law also restricts tobacco advertising, including a ban on promoting cigarettes as light or low-tar. At least half of cigarette packaging must now be devoted to warnings about the health risks of tobacco. |
