The Swedish government is considering banning all smoking in public places and limiting smoking at work to special "smoking rooms." There would also be specific rules for resturants and other meeting places. This is being proposed because of the dangers to non-smokers. The major Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, surveyed peoples attitude to the proposed change. More than 90% were in favor. Dagens Nyheter also noted that, although more women smoke than men, women were even more solidly behind the regulation. (abstracted from Dagens Nyheter, April 16, 1983.) Martin Minow decvax!minow
