I move to add this to the Legality and Restrictions Act.

Tobacco Action Act | Author: Ainin [TR], Oneracon [RG] | Sponsors: Geilinor [LD], Yanalia [RG], Gothmogs [TR], Maklohi Vai [LD], The IASM, Potenco [RG] | Urgency: High

The Senate of Aurentina,

Affirming tobacco is noxious to the health of Aurentines,

Declaring tobacco to be a recreational drug for the purpose of this act, therefore exempt from the Bodily Sovereignty Act,

Noting a vast majority of surveys show that second-hand smoke has negative health effects, a fact acknowledged by several tobacco companies and the WHO,

Enacting the following clauses:

  • All business owners are subject to an opt-out smoking ban in their establishments.
  • This ban includes a twenty metre radius around all non-emergency exits.
  • All business owners choosing to opt-out must display a sign stating so in English and Aurentine, in a visible manner at all entrances.
  • It is prohibited to use tobacco products under any circumstance in banks, clinics, hospitals, schools, aircraft and trains.
  • Any person caught by law enforcement attempting to break this ban may be charged with a contravention to be known as attempt to propagate dangerous fumes.
  • The Ministry of Health reserves the right to order businesses or certain areas of businesses to retain a smoking ban in the interest of public health. This includes but is not limited to:
    • banks and credit unions;
    • the interiors of aircraft, trains, buses, or other public vehicles;
    • educational institutions;
    • child care facilities;
    • medical facilities;
    • supermarkets and other grocery purveyors;
    • restaurant food handling areas.
  • It is a contravention to smoke in a permanent structure superior in size to 100m2 owned by the Government of Aurentina, or subdivisions thereof.
  • Tobacco and products derived thereof shall be taxed 20% of its selling price, excluding any supplementary taxes.
  • Tobacco and tobacco-derived products may not be sold in establishments whose target audience is below the age of 18.
  • Attempts to sell tobacco outside authorized channels is a derelict.
  • Minors may not consume tobacco and tobacco-derived products.
  • Attempting to offer or sell tobacco products to minors in a derelict.
  • At least half of a box of tobacco products must be reserved for a Ministry of Health warning label.
  • The use of overtly flashy or glamourous packaging, to be decided by the Ministry of Health, is interdicted.
  • Deliberate attempts to feed a mammal, amphibian, bird or lizard tobacco, or products derived thereof, is animal abuse, to be defined as a contravention.
Hereby passes the Tobacco Action Act.
