The Senate has finally passed the national tobacco control bill. The bill which is sponsored by a member of the House of Representatives, Bassey Etim, had its first reading on December 11, 2007, while its Second Reading was on February 19, 2008. It was thereafter deferred to the House Committees on Health and Justice on May 14, 2008 and finally had its Third Reading and passage on June 14, 2008.
The bill is expected to ensure that smoking in public places is banned.
Ninety-two countries in the world have signed the tobacco bill into law, though with different stipulations of how it is implemented.
Lovers Smoke:
If the woman/man of your dreams was a non-smoker and couldn't tolerate the smoking, would you consider quitting for them?
A friend of mine would quit every time he got a new luuuuv interest, not by the girl's request, but just because he knew she would appreciate it. He's currently in his longest/happiest relationship and it looks like he's quit for good. Thoughts ?
Non-smokers: If the man/lady of your dreams was a regular smoker, would you be able to cope?
