Law goes into effect on April 1
The Bermuda Senate voted unanimously in favor of smokefree workplace legislation. The Bermuda Assembly passed the same bill earlier this month. Under terms of the legislation, all Bermuda workplaces (including restaurants and bars) will become smokefree beginning April 1, 2006.
Supporting the measure, Senator Carol Anne Bassett spoke of the “mind-boggling loss to families” caused by tobacco addiction, while Senator Kim Swan passed around a picture of a diseased lung to highlight the damage that tobacco addiction causes to both smokers and those around them.
The new law also ends the sale of cigarettes through vending machines.
Introducing the bill, Senator Raymond Tannock said: “It's for the public health that I bring this bill before the Senate. He explained that the action is part of a global health treaty – the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control – signed by 168 countries and ratified by 115 of them, and involves tightening tobacco control laws. The United States is one of the few major countries not to sign the Framework Convention due to opposition from the Bush administration.
Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, and New Zealand are among the nations that have already enacted a law similar to the new one enacted by Bermuda.
Tannock said 5 million people across the globe die from tobacco addiction each year.
