Current Affairs Proposed new law aims to limit risks of passive smoking
This week has been a good one for Czech anti-smoking campaigners. On Tuesday the High Court in Brno supported a lawsuit taken by one tenant in an apartment building to ban his neighbours from smoking on the stairwells and corridors. It is a ruling that has for the first time backed the right of non-smokers to prevent people lighting up in their environment. Now, a proposed new law is to come before parliament, which aims to make it harder to smoke in public places.
