[Column] The Risks of Delayed Implementation of Smoking Separation in Offices

The "Revised Health Promotion Law," which came into full effect in April 2020, established various rules regarding smoking.
As a result, it is expected that non-smokers will be able to protect themselves from the smell and smoke emitted by smokers, making this a policy that has garnered significant support from non-smokers.
On the other hand, there are likely many smokers who feel a sense of loss due to the reduction of places and opportunities to smoke, feeling marginalized.
In restaurants within Tokyo, smoking indoors is generally prohibited, making it almost impossible to smoke on the premises.
For those who have developed a habit of smoking while dining, this can understandably feel painful.
Additionally, due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, smoking areas both indoors and outdoors have been closed for the reason that "smokers gather and create crowds."
It is not an exaggeration to say that the combination of the enforcement of the Revised Health Promotion Law and the impact of the novel coronavirus has made this a difficult era for smokers.
