Unlike the Federation of BiH, smoking is permitted in closed facilities, although the profession warns that tobacco smoke is one of the main causes of lung cancer. Banja Luka are indignant because of that. They believe that the law that will prohibit this is necessary.
– I can’t wait for that. Everywhere in Europe, smoking is prohibited. I really bother me. And when someone says: they suffered, and they did not smoke. Well, we suffered passive smokers, which is far worse than active, “said one Banja Luka woman for” Avaz “(identity known to the newsroom).
Prevention
Lung cancer in 99 percent of cases are smokers. Therefore, doctors warn that it needs to be preventive and prohibit smoking indoors.
– Smoking causes a large number of cancers, from the lungs, lips, horny, bladder, kidneys. In our terms, smoking is allowed indoors. I think that we are the only one in the world with Serbia that lets that – says Živko Vranješ, Chief of Clinic for Oncology at the University Clinical Center of Republika Srpska.
They don’t even have catering anything against this. Health is, say, priority. However, the opinions are that it should not be rushed with the Law on Prohibition of Smoking and that a trial period should be introduced.
– The prohibition of smoking would also make us to caterers well, various savings and for a longer period of time is cost-effective. I think it’s good what the Federation did. In terms of, six months to a year of any adjustment – the attitude of one Banja Luka caterer.
They don’t sit down with a broken arm
In the line ministry, they claim not sitting off the murmurized arms and that the Republika Srpska will soon receive a law that will ban smoking indoors.
– We will put in the NSRS law on the protection of the population from tobacco products this year. I think it’s very important to regulate that thing. What is even more important than that is all that the law enforce people. If we were looking for a way to do not implement it, then our law does not need to be – claims the relevant Minister, Alen Šeranić.
Recall, in the Federation of BiH, at the end of last year, the application of the Rulebook on the Prohibition of Smoking in Indoor Facilities has begun, writes Avaz.
