クイーンズランド州喫煙規制

日曜日ということもあってこの日のブリスベンの街には沢山の人でぎわっていた。しかし、喫煙している人は
カジノの脇など、ごく僅かであった。クイーンズランド州政府の強いタバコ規制の効果がすでに出ているように
感じられた。若さ溢れるこの国の将来は明るい。

法律で屋内すべての公共空間、職場、共用の場所における喫煙が禁止された。ケアンズなど日本人若者が多い
観光地では喫煙規制にとまどいを見せるシーンもあるようだが、新禁煙法ではホテルの喫煙ルームの存続は
許されている。 ブリスベンのMercure Hotel は14階建てであるが、3階、8階(4部屋のみ)と10階の
フロアが喫煙ゲストルームとなっている。全客室198 のうち喫煙ルームは40で、その割合は約20%である。
ホテル内のレストラン・バーは法律により全面禁煙となっていた。
