the 'grass‐roots movement' started from a civil level?
Dr. Junhaku Miyamoto: Most of the countries which have enforced a smoke-free law came from a 'top-down decision' ,
since a health ministry in that country well knows and aware of the health hazard from the tobacco.
However, if a small city in Japan enacted a total smoking ban in a restaurant and enlarged the restricting area;
then, there still be a hope to stop the tobacco-dependent Japanese society.
(R) Guest speaker, Dr.Junhaku Miyamoto received a certificate of commendation from the Chairman, Dr. Masao, Kaneko.

The title of this speech was 'Tobacco-free Japan: possibilities - Role of civic society.

Mr.Hemant Goswami talked the way, how he, and his associates succeeded to establish the tobacco-free society in his city,
and he cited over the possibility to do it in Japan, involving young people, and associating with other civil organizations.

in a restaurant in a small community, expanding its area to wider districts and state. After that, smoking bar, pub and club
can be banned. Smoking ban in a hotel room may be followed. Finally, outside smoking restriction may be enforced.
(R) Tokyo, Japan is selected as the 2020 summer Olympic site. It is mandatory to establish anti-smoking law, which
