(L) The president, Dr. Jun Sono: He questioned whether a smoke-free law should be made in a 'top-down decision' or
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.

A shatter is placed in front of the tobacco container in a convenience store in Canada.
In Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, all tobacco products are behind the sliding door or a panel.
(L) The effective and important means to reduce the number of smokers is to close the public inside places which allow smoking.

(L) WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) urges ratifying nations, such as Japan, to implement laws
providing for the protection of citizens from exposure to tobacco smoke in workplaces, public transport, and other public venues.
(R) It is a great mistake to provide and reserve a smoking place in an indoor public space.

work places in the year of 2013.

(M) A supporter of a smoke-free act should carefully assess the content of ordinance: If it allows a separate smoking space inside,
or a tobacco company affirms the law, you should refuse that ordinance. There was the case that cannot be recovered in Kanagawa ordinance,
which Japan Society for Tobacco Control eagerly supported.
(R) Brazil has reduced its smoking rate by about 50% in the last 20 years. During that time period, strong tobacco control policies were implemented.
(L) The advantages to prohibit smoking inside of building is to protect worker's and user's health. It would promote
to stop smoking and to prevent youngsters to start smoking.
(M) A favorite process in establishing an anti-smoking act seen in the United States is to start entirely to prohibit smoking
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
enforces a total smoking ban in a restaurant, by the year of 2020.
