Accept the smoking ban and move on


I SALUTE the Health Ministry’s courageous and correct decision to ban smoking in many public areas for health reasons. The vast majority is supporting and observing the ban with no complaints, but public debate has unfortunately been hijacked by an unreasonable and vocal minority.

Having considered their half-baked counter-arguments, the ministry should not only disregard them but also actively focus its political energy on other more important issues.
