South Africa has strengthened the current anti-smoking legislation with new regulations which limit outdoor smoking, protect children and reduce the chances of fires caused by burning cigarettes.
According the World Health Organisation (WHO) tobacco kills half of those who use it and it estimates that about 700 million children or almost half of the world's children inhale air polluted by tobacco smoke.
Despite damning evidence the use of tobacco products are common throughout the world due to low prices, aggressive and widespread marketing as well as inconsistent public policies against its use. The International Labour Organization reports that second hand tobacco smoke kills close to 200 000 workers every year.
The new South Africans laws strengthen existing legislation on smoking in public places, regulating the manufacture of tobacco products, the marketing of tobacco products to avoid making cigarettes appealing and require new pictorial health warnings on tobacco packets.
Some changes in the law with immediate effect, include: -
-- Adults may not smoke in a car when a passenger under 12 years is present.
-- Smoking is not allowed in premises (including private homes) used for commercial childcare activities, or for schooling or tutoring.
-- No person under 18 may be allowed into a designated smoking area. The practice of parents taking babies into smoking areas of restaurants is outlawed.
Further changes in the law will come into effect later this year, because the Ministry of Health is still finalising regulations. These include:
The National Council Against Smoking (NCAS) has welcomed the new legislation as one that "will have dramatic, important and far-reaching effects on public health and the tobacco industry's marketing activities."
NCAS director Dr Yussuf Saloojee said only 22% of South Africans smoked while four out of five people (78% adults) did not smoke and did not want to be exposed to tobacco smoke in public places.
"Smoking remains a leading cause of premature, preventable death in South Africa. Tobacco kills 44 000 South Africans every year (three times more than motor car accidents). Our efforts to reduce the death toll will be helped by the new legislation," said Dr Saloojee.
