Exposure to passive smoking happens in eateries, specifically hotels, restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, risking the lives of thousands of non-smokers by exposing them to the smoke of cigarettes that seeps from ‘smoking areas’ to ‘common areas’. Restaurants and hotels that do not permit smoking are attracting more customers and business. Going completely smoke-free is improving profits and saving costs for them.
The hospitality sector is opting out of allowing smoking in their premises, as their contribution towards safeguarding the health of their employees and customers, especially during the Corona pandemic. Restaurateurs, representatives from hotel & restaurant associations, tourism and health departments of states, doctors and global experts came together for a webinar organised by the National Law School of India University- ‘Smoke-Free Hotels/Restaurants are a Win-Win for health and business’. They concluded that a 100 per cent smoke-free establishment is a win-win for customers as well as owners.
