Samenvatting
Meeroken vergroot de kans op longkanker, hartaandoeningen en luchtwegaandoeningen. In Ierland is daarom al in 2004 besloten om alle werknemers te beschermen tegen het inademen van tabaksrook. In Nederland staat echter nog steeds de helft van de horecamedewerkers (en de bezoekers) in de rook. Toch is een écht rookvrije horeca ook mogelijk in Nederland.
Abstract
A truly smoke-free hospitality industry is also possible in the Netherlands Second-hand smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, heart diseases, and respiratory diseases. The Irish government already decided to protect all employees against exposure to second- hand smoke in 2004. In the Netherlands, half of hospitality industry employees (and visitors) remain exposed to tobacco smoke. Nonetheless, a truly smoke-free hospitality industry is also possible in the Netherlands provided that the recommendations from the World Health Organization (100% smokefree legislation without smoking rooms, without exceptions, with adequate enforcement, and with an educational campaign about the harms of second-hand smoke) are followed through. It has been done elsewhere, it can be done everywhere.
