Discussion around prohibition of smoking - pro smokeless registered association condemns attitude of the chairmen Mller of the VZBV

- Berlin - 09.08.2006 pro smokeless registered association - lobby of the nonsmokers condemns the attitude of the Federal association of the consumer centers. Cause is the expression of Edda Mueller, chairman of the Federal association, in an interview opposite the citizens of Berlin newspaper, in which a general prohibition of smoking is rejected. Such expressions undermine the reliability of the consumer protection. We point thereupon that the function of the consumer centers is the protection of the consumers and to it belongs also to nonsmokers.

The Federal association of the consumer centers is for an effective nonsmoker protection, rejects however a general prohibition of smoking. Thus the Federal association incurred the loss to be b in the name. In the future it must be called en smoker protection center , criticizes Siggi Ermer, executive committee chairman von Pro smokeless registered association an effective nonsmoker protection only by a general prohibition of smoking is ensured. Only so employees and nonsmokers can be protected against the consequences of the passive smoking.

There are, mean smokeless stations only in the fantasy of the marketing-assigned of the course AG Siggi Ermer. So long it smoker's lounges gives, is not not absolutely smokeless a station - and everything else is Augenwischerei, Mrs. Mller. That consumers have the free choice, as Edda Mueller means doubt pro smokeless considering the opportunities of evasion lacking. Nonsmoker zones do not bring anything, since itself the tobacco smoke generally speaking area common and the fine dust danger is higher ten times than the fine dust load by a diesel engined vehicle. The Federal association seems to know few about the nonsmoker protection. Such an attitude goes at the needs of the not smoking consumers past , criticizes Ermer.

Into the discussion around a prohibition of smoking in the catering trade now also the NGG (trade union food benefit restaurants) interfered and demands a better protection from the passive smoking in the hotel and catering trade, since the freiwillige agreement refers only to the guests. Pro smokeless is positively surprised that the NGG interferes finally into the discussion around the protection of employees and takes position. We support and endorse the demands after a change of the work place regulation , thus Ermer.
