Creating a World without Smoking
Smoking will be banned in all pubs,clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the Commons last night.Afler last-minute appeals from health campaigners,MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will startin summer 2007,ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only.They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184,a surprisingly large majority of 200.
Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes,such as prisons,care homes and hotels.
Smokers lighting up in banned areas will face a fixed penalty notice of £50 and spot fines of £ 200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs,with the possible penalty,if the issue goes to court,increasing to £1,000.
Carpline Flint,the Public Health Minister,also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to£2,500 more than ten times the£200 originally proposed.
The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes.Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18.
The Bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess.
Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line.
Patricia Hewitt,the Health Secretary,said the Health Bill would ban smoking in"virtually every enclosed public place and workplace"in England and save thousands of lives a year. Smoke-free workplaces and public places"will become the norm".
She said:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke."
Peter Hollins,director-general of the British Heart Foundation,said:"The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people."
选项
The Government will definitely impose a much heavier tax on tobacco.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案
C
解析
文章第一段第二句提到“MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007...",由此可以得知该信息正确。
文章第一段提到2008年将在所有的工作场所禁烟,而官员工作的地方也属于工作场所,该禁令对他们也不例外,所以该信息错误。
第二段说“Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes",人们可以在自己家里吸烟,所以,该信息正确。
在文中第五段提到:"The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes",很显然,政府可以提高购买香烟的年龄限制。
本题给出的信息文中没有提及。作者虽然提到了禁烟法案以及各种违反禁令的处罚措施,但并没有谈到政府要关闭制烟厂。
本问题同上,政府实行严厉的惩罚措施,但文中没有提到要对烟草业征收更高的税收。
文中最后一段提到:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke.",更多的人在卫生法案的影响下戒烟,但“政府采取必要措施帮助吸烟者戒烟”在文中没有提及。
