Peru National Perspective of Smoking

In Peru, on the 30 of March of 2010 Peru’s congress approved the law of banning smoking in public places. This included workshops, hotels, restaurants, casinos, etc. Businesses owners will be given a year for their businesses to be adapted to this new law. This law was done in favour of the well-being of Peruvians health. The law will also require putting warning signs for consumers on both sides. This law was approved by 60 votes in favour, 4 votes against and 13 blank votes. It already have a law which indicate public spaces to have smoking areas but now smoking areas won’t exist anymore. But there isn’t any law in here that evade people from smoking in their properties or on open spaces, in fact I don’t know of any country that does.


I think many of the warnings doesn’t affect the decision of the smokers as they already have the addiction in their system, what really is decreasing the number of smokers are the laws that are making it more and more difficult to smoke like the law of not smoking in any public place or the one that avoid people from buying single cigarettes.
