| Smoke Free files complaint against Smoke Less |
| Smoke Free Ohio filed an elections complaint against the Smoke Less Ohio folks. Just to keep it straight: Smoke Free is a group backed by the American Cancer Society and other public health groups; Smoke Less is a group backed by R.J. Reynolds, bar owners and restaurants. The two groups are each proposing different versions of smoking bans. Smoke Free is accusing Smoke Less of duping people into signing the Smoke Less petitions. Smoke Free is asking the secretary of state to investigate these allegations. "Frankly, that"s just ridiculous," said Jacob Evans, spokesman for Smoke Less. |

In an effort to discourage minors from smoking, the government is extending a scheme intended to restrict access to cigarettes that places the onus on the private sector.
Last year, the Finance Ministry sent letters to shops operating about 7,900 vending machines, mainly in prefectural capitals, requiring that they remove the machines if shop clerks could not keep an eye on them, or at least move them somewhere they could be seen. . . .
The Tobacco Institute of Japan, which comprises three tobacco manufacturers, this month started registering shops that have cigarette vending machines with a device that uses integrated-circuit cards to identify whether purchasers meet the 20-year-old and over age requirement for purchasing cigarettes. . . .
The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry will this year begin examining the effects of antismoking counseling by doctors, which from the start of fiscal 2006 has been partly covered by health insurance. |
