Ban Smoking in the Balcony, How to Extreme Reduce Smokers in Finland

 

Jakarta, Finland could be one of the most successful countries to suppress the number of smokers in the world. Currently, the number of smokers is less than 2 percent. But this is not enough. Local governments are targeting Finland completely free of cigarette smoke in 2040. For that they are now trying to intensify efforts to really eliminate the 2 percent tersebut.Untuk achieve this level itself, Finland takes more than 10 years. It began with the banning of cigarette advertisements in mass media and billboards on the streets. Then the government is also making more public spaces free of cigarette smoke.But as of 2017, Finland plans to take a more revolutionary approach. Kaari Paaso, head of the hazard prevention unit of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs affirmed, it wants to eradicate all types of tobacco products. Like in Sweden, the policy of reducing smokers is done by introducing snus, a type of cigarette but without smoke. While in the UK, this reduction is done by allowing electric cigarettes to help people stop smoking conventional cigarettes. However, Finland does not want to get stuck in a policy like this. First, they raise taxes for stores selling cigarettes or other tobacco products. This method is considered the most effective experts to reduce the number of smokers in various places. Every shop that wants to sell cigarettes should submit a licensing proposal and pay the licensing fees. This does not include any additional fees to be paid each year. These additional fees are used to pay overtime pay of government employees who are in charge of watching them.

The cost alone can be more than 500 US dollars (USD 6.6 million) for each cashier every year. So if there is a store with 10 cashiers, then they could have paid more than 5,000 US dollars per year. So the cost is quite expensive just to get permission to sell this product, Paaso said as reported CNN. Interestingly, Finland also has a policy other unique. Starting this year, the government forbids someone smoking on the balcony of someone else's house if their existence is felt to disturb the owner of the house and its neighbors, especially if smoke burns cigarettes everywhere. This policy is relatively new and has never existed, as most countries do banning public areas but we are already in the private area, Paaso continued. Finnish residents are no longer allowed to smoke cigarettes in cars if there is a 15-year-old passenger down in it, no matter whether it is their private vehicle. To prevent the introduction of cigarettes in the younger generation, the government also limits the sale of various products similar to cigarettes such as candy or chocolate-shaped cigarettes. Similarly, with electric cigarettes. As of August, these products have curtailed restrictions such as fixing buyer age limits and flavor liquids on electric cigarettes nor should they be sold anymore, Paaso said. Due to these efforts, the WHO also recognizes Finland as the world's first country to target ' 'smokers and their circulation of products thoroughly.Read also: Study: Many People Do not Understand What Makes Cigarettes Dangerous (lll / up)
