クイーンズランド州喫煙規制
クイーンズランド州にはグレートバリアリーフ、ケアンズ、サンシャインコースト、ブリスベン、ゴールドコースト
など著名な観光地がある。南北に連なる、海に沿って長く伸びるこのサンベルト地帯の気候は冬でも比較的温暖で
過ごしやすい。1998年、州政府はタバコの有害煙から国民をも守るため最初の禁煙法を導入した。その後、2001年、
2004年に修正がなされ、2006年7月にはより厳しい喫煙規制法が発効した。この規制のもとし、レストランやバー
の室内および室外テラス席での喫煙は全面的に禁止された。クイーンズランド州ではタバコ自販機はバーおよび
ポーカールームにしか設置できない。日本のようにあたりかまわず、しかも接近して設置している国は世界中どこ
にもない。
